Test and Protect is Scotland’s way of putting into practice the ‘test, trace, isolate, support’ strategy to preventing the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the community.
It will prevent the spread of coronavirus in the community by:
- identifying cases of coronavirus through testing
- tracing the people who may have become infected by spending time in close contact with them
- supporting those close contacts to self-isolate, so that if they have the disease they are less likely transmit to it to others
