This regulation applies where an adult is notified by a relevant person, other than by means of the NHS Covid 19 smartphone app developed and operated by the Secretary of State, that—

a

they have tested positive for coronavirus, or

b

a child in respect of whom they are a responsible adult has tested positive for coronavirus.

2

Where paragraph (1)(a) applies, the person notified must—

b

notify the relevant person of the name of each person living in the same household as P.

3

Where paragraph (1)(b) applies, R must—

a

secure, so far as reasonably practicable, that the child self-isolates for the period of self-isolation, and

b

notify the relevant person of the name of each person living in the same household as the child.

4

But paragraph (2) or (3) (as the case may be) does not apply if—

a

the person in respect of whom the notification is given under paragraph (1) (“NP”) is taking part in coronavirus related research,

b

NP, or R where NP is a child, has previously been given a relevant notification (see paragraph 6), and

c

the test pursuant to which NP or R is now being notified under paragraph (1)(a) or (b) (as the case may be) was carried out within the relevant period determined in accordance with paragraph (5).

5

For the purposes of paragraph (4)(c), the relevant period is—

a

the period of 90 days beginning with the date of the first test pursuant to which NP or R, where NP is a child, was previously given a relevant notification;

b

where the period in sub-paragraph (a) (“the original period”) has ended, the period of 90 days beginning with the date of the first test pursuant to which—

i

NP was previously given a relevant notification, or

ii

where NP is a child, R was previously given a relevant notification,

after the end of the original period;

c

where the period in sub-paragraph (b) (“the subsequent period”) has ended, the period of 90 days beginning with the date of the first test pursuant to which—

i

NP was previously given a relevant notification, or

ii

where NP is a child, R was previously given a relevant notification,

after the end of the subsequent period, and so on.

6

For the purposes of paragraphs (4) and (5) “relevant notification” means—

a

a notification under paragraph (1)(a), or

b

where NP is a child, a notification under paragraph (1)(b) that NP has tested positive for coronavirus.

7

In addition, P, or R where P is a child, must, if requested by a relevant person, notify that person of the address at which P will remain pursuant to the requirement in regulation 2(1)(a).

8

If a relevant person notifies P, or R where P is a child, that a notification referred to in paragraph (1) in respect of P is withdrawn, such notification is deemed never to have been given for the purposes of these Regulations.
