(b)if that test was a workforce test undertaken for day 5, P is not required to undertake a workforce test for day 8.
(4) Where a further test undertaken in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(a) generates a negative result, this paragraph applies to P from the time P is notified of that negative result as if the workforce test undertaken by P in accordance with regulation 6K had generated a negative result (and accordingly, from that time, P is no longer required to isolate).
(5) Where a workforce test undertaken by P in accordance with regulation 6K generates an inconclusive result, P must as soon as reasonably practicable undertake a further workforce test and that further workforce test is to be treated as a replacement workforce test within the meaning of regulation 6K(4) (requirement to undertake workforce tests).

(2) In the discharge of the duty under sub-paragraph (1), an employer must have regard to any guidance issued by the Welsh Ministers for the purposes of this paragraph.
(3) In paragraph (1) an employer has responsibility for an agency worker if—
(a)the agency worker is supplied or to be supplied by a person (an “agent”) to the employer under a contract or other arrangements made between the agent and the employer; and
(b)the agency worker is not—
(i)a worker because of the absence of a worker’s contract between the agency worker and the agent or the employer, or
(ii)a party to a contract under which the agency worker undertakes to do the work for another party to a contract whose status is, by virtue of the contract, that of a client or customer of any profession or business undertaking carried on by the agency worker.”
