<p>Throughout the pandemic, the Ministry of Defence has aligned itself with the Government's
COVID-19 policies in addition to managing the risks from communicable diseases and
viruses as set out in Joint Service Publication 950 on Medical Policy. This has included
complying with the Working Safely during Coronavirus (COVID-19): Guidance which sets
out the key actions organisations should take to protect employees in order to reduce
the risk of COVID-19 spreading in workplaces.</p><p>While COVID-19 regulations are
being eased across England and much of the UK, certain risks from COVID-19 remain
and consequently it will be appropriate to continue to monitor the situation and to
maintain some public health, force protection and health and safety measures in certain
settings. For instance, testing and isolation may continue in limited scenarios, such
as to enable the operational deployment of personnel overseas. COVID-related measures
will continue to be reviewed periodically and rationalised when it is safe to do so,
whilst managing the risks to personnel and key Defence outputs.</p>
