While lockdown feels like a thing of the past by this point, many people across the UK are still contracting Covid-19. If you have taken a Covid test and it came back positive, you may be confused about whether you should still go to work or not.

It's important to note that if a test comes back positive but you have no symptoms, it is still highly likely that you are infected and can therefore pass it on to others.

According to government advice, many people with Covid-19 will no longer be infectious to others after five days. Because of this it is highly recommended that if you have a positive Covid-19 test result you should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for five days after you took the test.

While there is no legal obligation to stay at home, it is highly recommended to work from home wherever possible. If you cannot work from home, the government advises that you talk to your employer about other options available to you.

Biden likely has highly contagious BA.5 strain of COVID-19, doctor says

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden likely contracted a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through the United States, and now has body aches and a sore throat since his positive test, according to an update from his doctor on Saturday.The variant, known as BA.5, is an offshoot of the omicron strain that emerged late last year, and it's believed to be responsible for the vast majority of coronavirus cases in the country.Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s physician, wrote in his latest update on Biden's condition that Biden's earlier symptoms, including a runny nose and a cough, have become "less troublesome." O'Connor's earlier notes did not mention the sore throat or body aches.Biden's vital signs, such as blood pressure and respiratory rate, "remain entirely normal," and his oxygen saturation levels are "excellent" with "no shortness of breath at all," the doctor wrote.O'Connor said the results of the preliminary sequencing that indicated the BA.5 variant do not affect Biden's treatment plan "in any way."US President Joe Biden delivers remarks virtually during his meeting with his economic team to discuss lowering gas prices in the South Court Auditorium of the Executive Office Building on July 22, 2022.

COVID cases are rising across Canada. Where are the country’s top doctors?

COVID-19 is sweeping across Canada, leading to high rates of infection and increased hospitalizations in most provinces. But unlike during previous outbreaks, many of the country’s top doctors have been largely absent from the public eye.Now, health experts say the public should be getting clearer messaging – that even if virus protection measures like masking and distancing aren’t being mandated by law, they should still be followed.“I think we should still (be) encouraging people to continue wearing a mask when they’re in public, when they’re on the subway, when they’re in a concert, going to the theater or a sports game,” says Tim Sly, an epidemiologist and professor emeritus with the School of Public Health at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Arbitrator upholds vaccine mandate for Lower Mainland Coca Cola workers

Defence chief to review Canadian Armed Forces COVID-19 vaccine mandate Teamsters Local 213, which represents about 400 workers in Coquitlam, Richmond and Chilliwack took the matter to arbitration, arguing that the policy was unreasonable, and was not applied equally.Coca Cola said the policy was necessary to protect workers, and pointed to several major COVID outbreaks at Canadian facilities, including one that required a major cleanup in Kelowna and one in Calgary where two workers died.The union argued that the policy allowed the company to “force its employees to undergo an invasive medical procedure,” which it characterized as a “gross invasion” of their individual rights.It said there had been few infections at the Richmond and Coquitlam facilities prior to January 2022, and that the virus continued to spread after January — when all employees working had received at least two doses, suggesting that the mandate was not effective in its stated goal.It further argued that the policy wasn’t being equally applied, as some salaried employees working from home weren’t required to be vaccinated.
