As we move towards Step 3 of the Prime Minister’s roadmap out of lockdown, we know that many venues across your sector will be preparing to re-open. As part of making the easing of restrictions as successful as possible, some venues are required to follow the updated Contact Details Regulations (‘the Regulations’) by asking the public to check in to their venues upon arrival.

The check in process will allow individuals to be notified and receive public health advice as quickly as possible. This will play an important role in protecting public health and reducing transmission of COVID-19.

Ahead of 17 May, we want to support you to have a thorough understanding of the Regulations.

During these sessions, we will provide details on what the Regulations mean for your sector and how the process will benefit your business and customers.

We will also provide details on supporting materials available, including posters and guidance sheets, and give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.

And finally, we’ll give you an overview of a new scheme at NHS Test and Trace: We Offer Testing To Our Staff, a simple and free voluntary scheme for businesses offering regular weekly testing to their staff. The scheme is open to those who have signed up for workplace testing and offer a minimum of two tests a week to their employees.

We look forward to seeing you there.
