A prospective descriptive survey of a sample of workers from domiciliary care providers was conducted in June 2020. The study involved PCR testing a sample of domiciliary care staff from 5 regions across England.

The findings of this study will be a guide for policy makers in making decisions on testing strategies and measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 for this workforce.
