Community testing for Covid-19 and the use of LFTs are being downscaled, the States of Guernsey said. It comes as public health guidance on dealing with Covid-19 infections has been updated in line with other respiratory virus infections.The States said LFTs would continue to be used to minimise the risk of potential outbreaks in vulnerable locations including the hospital, care homes and prison.
Visitors to these locations are no longer advised to test beforehand, but are strongly encouraged against visiting friends or relatives if symptomatic.Dr Nicola Brink, director of public health, said: "As individuals we don't self-test for other respiratory virus infections, we naturally stay at home if unwell and seek advice and treatment from our GP if needed."
