As we transition Test and Protect, new stay at home guidance will come into effect from 1 May. This will broadly align with the UKHSA guidance for simplicity of messaging and, therefore, maximising the public health effect of the guidance.
What are the SISG changes from 1 May
Unvaccinated close contacts are no longer eligible meaning only those who test positive on a PCR are eligible. (Parent and Carer eligibility remains the same)
Unvaccinated close contacts will no longer be traced so SISG will focus on positive cases and their parents and carers
Reduction of the Grant award from £500 to £225 to reflect the shorter stay at home time during the transition period
Introduction of a 3 claim cap in a 12 month period from 1 May.
