Symptomatic Testing
Any staff member who is symptomatic MUST follow the self isolation process and have a PCR test, even if you are part of the LAMP Testing programme
LAMP Test results – some delays
Technical issues at LCL Laboratory on the 3rd, 4th & 5th March 2021, has led to some staff not getting their LAMP Test results.
LCL have apologised for any inconvenience caused and assured STHK that this initial teething problem has now been resolved.
