Question
What guidance has the Welsh Government given to councils regarding waste and recycling teams being pinged to self-isolate?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
On August 7 we moved to Alert Level Zero and removed the requirement for people who have been fully vaccinated to self-isolate if they are a close contact of someone who has tested positive. The NHS Covid-19 app has been aligned to these changes.
Our regional Incident Management Teams who are responsible for Covid-19 prevention and response planning were also asked to consider whether isolation poses any risks to critical services and infrastructure, and advise on any possible response that may be considered necessary.
Guidance has been produced for employers, businesses and organisations on Alert Level Zero and is available on the line below:
