Most infectious diseases in education and childcare settings can be managed by following the advice in UK Health Security Agency\u2019s (UKHSA) updated health protection in education and childcare settings guidance. Students and staff should follow UKHSA\u2019s advice for those who have symptoms.<\/p> As individuals are now mixing in an otherwise open society, regular testing within school and colleges is no longer as effective as it once was. Instead, the most effective protection against severe disease from COVID-19 for everyone, including those at higher risk from COVID-19, is to get vaccinated.<\/p> Although settings may still have some unused test kits in stock, they should not continue to hand these out to staff or students or dispose of them (unless they have reached their expiry date).<\/p> The department are currently working with UKHSA to explore the options for removal of testing resources no longer required and repurpose or redeploy them as much as possible based on clinical need prioritisation.<\/p>
