Why do we need this information?

NHS Test and Trace can ask those affected to take safety measures in order to avoid any further spread.

In this case, we will share with NHS Test and Trace contact information for our staff and any visitors who may have come into contact with the visitor who has tested positive.
If a visitor to our venue informs us that they have tested positive for COVID-19, we will contact the NHS Test and Trace service and provide them with details of staff and any visitor who may have come into contact with the visitor who has tested positive.
We will not share your information with anyone else, unless we are required to do so by law, for reasons of public safety and in risk of harm or emergency situations.
