Bristol volunteer guide and national care-home testing advice land same week
A Bristol voluntary-sector resource for supporting refugee volunteers and UKHSA guidance on combined COVID-19 and flu tests in care homes were published within 24 hours of each other.
The UK Health Security Agency published guidance on the use of combined COVID-19 and flu tests during outbreaks of acute respiratory infection in adult social care homes [1]. It covers SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B antigen combo rapid tests [1]. In Bristol, Voscur launched the resource 'Supporting Refugees and Asylum Seekers to Volunteer' [2]. The resource was co-produced with Bristol City Council, City of Sanctuary and Refugee Welcome Homes, with input from Bristol Refugee and Asylum Seeker Partnership Organisations, and is aimed at upskilling volunteer managers across the VCSE sector [2].
