has told the people of England that they must work from home where possible as the country reaches a “perilous turning point” in its battle against Covid-19.
Johnson added, however, that if people need to go their place of work to carry out their duties, then they should do so. He used construction workers as an example, but the edict could be applied to those who work in TV and film production.“In key public services and in all professions where home working is not possible, such as construction or retail, people should continue to attend their workplaces,” Johnson said.
Johnson said the new measures, which include enforcing table service rules and a 10PM curfew on pubs and restaurants, could be in place for six months if there is not significant improvement in the rate of new infections. He added that companies could be fined or closed if they breach “Covid secure” guidelines.
