	answer	answer answer text <p>The Government has published guidance to help ensure workplaces are as safe as possible, and this includes looking at any existing or new communal facilities such as showers and changing facilities. Employers are responsible for taking all reasonably practical steps to address health and safety risks; however, my Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced unprecedented support for business and workers to protect them against the current economic emergency.</p><p> </p><p>People should only be going into work if they cannot work from home, and we encourage employers to agree alternative or flexible working hours with their employees. Whilst we have always said that those who cannot work from home can travel to work, we are giving those who have not been working the confidence to return to work and those businesses who suspended operations the guidelines they need to reopen safely.</p><p> </p><p>Walking, running and cycling help to reduce pressure on the public transport system and the road network, which is why they are recommended as more people return to the workplace. We are also encouraging people to avoid rush hour if they can, to help maintain social distancing. This will also reduce peak demand on the transport system.</p> question first answered 27/05/2020 14:04:39 answering member 4336

	answer	answer answer text <p>As of Friday 15 May, 422 prisoners have tested positive for COVID-19. This is an accumulative total and does not represent the number of live cases. Some of those that previously tested positive will have now made a full recovery.</p><p>As of Friday 15 May, 51 prisoners, who have tested positive for COVID-19 were removed to hospitals. However, from available data it is not possible to confirm whether individuals tested positive before or after hospitalisation.</p><p>Sadly, as of Friday 15 May, 21 prisoners have died having tested positive for the virus. It is a matter for coroners to determine a cause of death.</p><p>Although there is some testing conducted on symptomatic prisoners, COVID-19 testing is not yet a routine part of the prison reception process. New cohorting strategies have been developed however, and as a result prisons are implementing units to isolate the sick, shield the vulnerable and quarantine new arrivals for a period of 14 days to reduce risk of transmission.</p><p>All new receptions into prison are screened for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 by healthcare professionals.</p><p>COVID-19 testing is not part of the prison release process.</p><p>These are interim figures as reported by prisons. They are subject to revision as more information becomes available.</p> question first answered 27/05/2020 14:16:47 answering member 4538
