I’ve cancelled all work because I thought we were being told not to as we’re not doing essential work but I received the following from the government telling us to work! I still don’t think we should be in people’s homes at this time though. It’s all very confusing.
From the government:
“2. Work carried out in people’s homes
Work carried out in people’s homes, for example by tradespeople carrying out repairs and maintenance, can continue, provided that the tradesperson is well and has no symptoms.
Again, it will be important to ensure that Public Health England guidelines, including maintaining a 2 metre distance from any household occupants, are followed to ensure everyone’s safety.
No work should be carried out in any household which is isolating or where an individual is being shielded, unless it is to remedy a direct risk to the safety of the household, such as emergency plumbing or repairs, and where the tradesperson is willing to do so. In such cases, Public Health England can provide advice to tradespeople and households.”
”No work should be carried out by a tradesperson who has coronavirus symptoms, however mild.
