Healthcare associated COVID-19 infections further action, NHS England (updated 24th June 2020)

Further to the letter dated 9 June, we want to thank you all for your continued efforts to reduce healthcare associated COVID-19 infections in your organisations. Tackling this issue is vital to ensure patient safety, maintain public confidence and protect the health and wellbeing of NHS staff. This letter sets out number of important actions that all organisation must take. Evidence has now shown that people infected with COVID-19 who are either pre-sympto matic1 or have very mild or no respiratory symptoms (asymptomatic)2 can transmit the virus to others without knowing so it is important that we take even greater steps to stop the spread of coronavirus in healthcare settings.
