Advice and guidance for businesses, employees and self-employed.
We are still in national lockdown and you must not leave home unless necessary. This is the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves, the NHS, and save lives. And always remember: hands, face, space.
Recently, the government announced their four-step road map out of lockdown with changes beginning from 8 March including the re-opening of schools. Visit the government website to read the roadmap.
Protect yourself and others by following the government advice wash your hands regularly, cover your face in enclosed spaces, and stay 2m apart from anyone you do not live with.
