So when I approached my manager about it I said I wasn't sure if this was just a cold bug or the symptoms of covid-19. They said to be safe have 14 days off. Now because they don't test and me and my daughter haven't got it.

I'm a bit worried that because they don't test and it wasn't Covid then my wife and stepson who might have just had a bug will be walking about thinking they are immune to it now and may end up catching it at a later date and think it's a bug then end up spreading it.
Welcome to the mystery that is health policy in the United Kingdom.

A simple solution to that is after self isolation, tell them to go back to living as though they haven't had it.

IIRC they say if you've had contact with someone who has the virus (like my mum) you should self isolate for 14 days, I'm on day 1. But if on day 13 you develop sympton you should self isolate for another 7 days.

I had my HR manager meassage me about getting tested because I'm a key worker.

I'm very peeped with work over this, I'm following the goverment guidlines and that want me back.

That it wasn’t necessary to test frontline workers. It’s in the gov.uk link.

I'm now growing tired of you continual useless jibes in this topic.

Do not post again unless you have something useful to say.

So no policy that says they wont.
Your just trying to twist it to you hate of all things related to the current government, again.

See above, you constant jibes at all things related to the current administration, and other CF members isnt needed.
Stop, or leave. I have better things to do than have to wade through your constant drivel in this topic.

I don’t hate all things this current Government do. Good decisions and bad decisions are good/bad regardless of who is in power.

Nobody wants this to go the way of Italy here and it’s far too important to get wrong.

I welcome, for instance, the Chancellor’s unprecedented intervention in supporting the economy. Employees, self-employed and small businesses at this time. A huge commitment and exactly the commitment we need to ensure people do what we need them to do. Stay home.

The facilities were simply not available before now. It doesn't involve self-contained test kits like pregnancy tests.

The first of three new laboratories is expected to start operating over the weekend and will initially process around 800 samples, the government said.
The two other labs are currently being set up and will be opening soon.
This is all being done with the help of universities, research institutes and companies such as Boots, which are lending their testing equipment for use in the labs.
It they're self-isolating because of a contaminated household, going back to that household isn't much use.

Re: Coronavirus
 
I'm an NHS worker and my wife is a teacher. I think it's certain she could have got it from work as the week starting that they closed the schools, 9 staff were off with it and just after the closed them down another 3 went down with it inc my wife.

After I spoke on the phone to my ward manager the testing station they had near me stopped doing tests due to not enough tests going about. It would have been nice to at least know.

I agree though go about like you've never had it.

One thing i have noticed in the past couple of days is i can actually smell the sea,i only live about 300 mtrs from it but usually all i can smell is fumes and factory smells,the air quality seems so much better.

That will have more to do with the wind direction, unless there are a huge number of factories sitting out at sea.

It's called common sense. If the wind if coming from the direction of factories that are not operating, it won't smell of the sea, will it? I suppose it might, if they are on a narrow strip of land and the sea is also on the other side.

And that is the case here,pluss the A180 cuts through the middle and the traffic smell is usually quite bad,but with the factories shut and no traffic i can actually smell the sea or if you want to get technical about it the Humber estuary.;)

It's a tough time but there will be slight small things like this which we can make the best of. Enjoy. ;)
