ICO Issues New Guidance On Covid-19 Testing And Monitoring In The Workplace

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has published guidance for employers on complying with data protection law when taking steps to manage Covid-19 health and safety risk in the workplace.

The Guidance focuses on ‘testing’ of employees (which includes collecting data about symptoms and the conducting of temperature checks, and well as collecting data about Covid-19 test results), but also touches on other measures which businesses might be considering in order to monitor employee movements within the workplace.
