Recording self-isolation relating to COVID
Supplementary guidance on how to record a self-isolation case relating to COVID (coronavirus) is also now available for institutions. Please note the following:
- Recording access is available to users with “Full / Department Pay Leavers” or “HR Read Write” access to CHRIS.
- This absence type is intended for circumstances where an individual is required to self-isolate in line with government guidance, including where;
- they live with someone who has symptoms or has tested positive; or
- someone in their support bubble has symptoms or has tested positive; or
- they have been told by NHS Test and Trace that they have been in contact with a person with coronavirus.
- It is not intended for use in the following circumstances:
- Coronavirus related sickness absence, which should continue to be recorded under sickness absence, using the sickness reason of “Covid-19 (Coronavirus)”.
- Quarantine following travel abroad to certain countries.
- The duration of self-isolation must reflect the government’s guidelines in force at the time the period of self-isolation starts.
- Weekly reports will be distributed in the same way as other CHRIS burst reports.
