Coronavirus (COVID-19): Business Advice

Although the government's  legal restrictions in relation to the control of Covid have been dissolved, it is still something that we have to consider as we live our daily lives.

We have all experienced significant and deeply upsetting challenges during this pandemic, but the government has determined that it is now the right time to start 'living with Covid', in the same way that we already live with other viral respiratory infections. The full 'living with Covid' plan can be found here:

• Living with COVID-19 - The government’s plan for removing the remaining legal restrictions while protecting people most vulnerable to COVID-19 and maintaining resilience - on the GOV.UK website

The HSE (Health & Safety Executive) has a section dedicated to Covid (this relates to workplace situations):

• Coronavirus (COVID-19): working safely - on the HSE website

Employers and businesses still need to assess the risk from Covid and have regard to sensible control measures. You can find out more by clicking on the links below:

• Continuing to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in workplaces - on the HSE website
• Risk assessment during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic - on the HSE website

The previous Covid workplace safety guidance documents for businesses (there were 14 of them), have now been replaced with six guides for different industry sectors and there are also specific separate links for sports, education, ceremonies and vehicles. The Gov.uk link is below for you:
