Is returning to work a high-risk strategy?

The Prime Minister’s five-level “conditional plan” to reopen society is underway in England and today (21.05.2020) Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister unveiled a four-phase “route map” aimed at restarting society while suppressing the virus.

Some of the easing measures announced by Ms Sturgeon were introduced in England last week, with some people in England who cannot work from home returning to their workplaces.

As more people begin to return to work across the country, businesses need to consider their duty of care responsibilities, any failures to provide a safe working environment will have serious consequences.
