answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2021 answer text <p>Current advice is that people who live in a household with someone that is considered clinically extremely vulnerable do not have to shield themselves. Shielding advice is only for the individual considered clinically extremely vulnerable. The Government’s advice is that everyone should work from home where possible. Where this is not possible, those not considered clinically extremely vulnerable can continue to attend the workplace. All employers are required to take steps to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace and employers should be able to explain to employees the measures they have put in place to keep them safe at work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 27/01/2021 13:44:11 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
