<p>The Department introduced temporary non-contractual COVID-19 sickness guidance
at the start of the pandemic, to ensure National Health Service staff received full
pay should they be advised to self-isolate or become ill with COVID-19. This temporary
non-contractual guidance has been withdrawn as we return to the normal sickness arrangements
set out in the NHS terms and conditions.</p><p>We expect all care providers to support
good health and safety practice, with staff staying away from the workplace where
there would be a health risk to those in their care, as before the pandemic.</p>
