Flow chart - self-isolation

The coronavirus self-isolation rules change on a regular basis. This, combined with differences across the UK, can create confusion. Use our flow charts to ensure staff know what’s required.

The rules

We have created our Flow Chart – Self-isolation so that staff and managers have a quick reference guide to self-isolation rules.

At the top of each page there’s a choice of route to take. On the left we’ve shown how the rules apply when someone has been contacted by a government contact tracing service or lives in a household with someone who is symptomatic. In the centre, there’s a decision tree for those who have symptoms. And on the right we cover those who have a positive lateral flow device test.

Where your workers cross borders, apply the rules of their place of residence.
