The detailed document regarding the next steps...>

UK: The detailed document regarding the next steps to exiting lockdown has been

published. There are three steps, with the first to be taken in the new few

days:

Step 1:

- For the first time, the document puts a longer-term timeframe on working from

home if you can stating that: "For the foreseeable future, workers should

continue to work from home rather than their normal physical workplace, wherever

possible." It also says "All workers who cannot work from home should travel to

work if their workplace is open."

- The UK also changes its advice on face coverings saying people "should aim to

wear a face-covering in enclosed spaces" (although states clearly this is not

the same as a face mask): "Homemade cloth face-coverings can help reduce the

risk of transmission in some circumstances"

- Over 70s no longer need to be shielded. (1/2)
