Test & Protect: Help stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19)
Test and Protect is Scotland’s way of putting into practice the test, trace, isolate, support strategy.
It will prevent the spread of coronavirus in the community by:
- identifying cases of coronavirus through testing
- tracing the people who may have become infected by spending time in close contact with them
- supporting those close contacts to self-isolate, so that if they have the disease they are less likely transmit it to others
This will allow us to gradually change the restrictions that help to suppress the virus, and instead to contain it so that society and the economy can avoid a return to lockdown.
Remember the F.A.C.T.S
Limiting social interactions as much as you reasonably can will also help to make a difference to the spread of the virus. If you are meeting and interacting with other people remember to follow the F.A.C.T.S advice –
F – Wear a face covering in enclosed spaces
A – Avoid Crowded places – indoors and outdoors
C – Clean hands regularly and clean hard surfaces that you are touching
T – Keep two metres distance from people from other households
S – Self-isolate and book a test if you have symptoms
