Blood glucose monitoring questions and answers
What exactly happened?
The blood glucose level testing devices used in COVID-19 accommodation before 20 August were intended for use by one person. Instead, they were used across multiple people.
The body of these devices can retain microscopic amounts of blood. Cross contamination may occur if used on multiple people and there is a low risk of transmission of blood borne viruses, such as Hepatitis B and C, and HIV.
There is no risk to those who used their own personal device to test their blood glucose level.
