As restrictions continue to lift and we edge towards a return to some kind of normality, businesses must continue to inform and reassure both staff and customers of the measures in place to protect them from Covid-19.

The government has launched the ‘We Offer Testing to Our Staff’ (WOTTOS) endorsement scheme to highlight employers that offer regular testing to their staff.

Around 1 in 3 people with Covid-19 do not display any symptoms and could therefore be spreading the disease without knowing it. Regular testing helps to identify staff who are asymptomatic and helps to reduce the risk of transmission.

Employers taking part in the WOTTOS scheme will be able to display a nationally recognised physical and/or virtual sticker to show their participation in the scheme.
