A professor says the approach is 'short-sighted' and would result in more absences in the longer-term.
An NHS trust has been criticised after it emailed staff to tell them not to take Covid tests if they felt unwell.
The trust said it "sincerely apologised" for the email advising against the use of lateral flow tests. It said testing could result in staff "having to remain at home for longer than their symptoms persist". But Prof Griffin said an "advisory message" that people are not asked to test is different to being told "not" to test.
She said the trust was seeing an increase in staff experiencing respiratory illnesses and wanted them to respond to their symptoms, whether it was Covid-19 or another infection that could affect patients."Whilst lateral flow tests accurately highlight if a person is infected with Covid-19, they do not identify cold or flu infections which pose a risk for patient groups under our care," she said.
