Dear all,
After the Bar Council pressed them, we are pleased that the Department of Health and Social Care has just confirmed that barristers who are displaying Covid-19 symptoms are included in those eligible for testing as essential workers.
Although we do not currently appear on the Government’s website as eligible for testing, we have asked them to amend it.
Once we have received further information about testing we will let you know. Further details can be found here.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend.
Amanda Pinto QC
Chair of the Bar
