	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2020 answer text <p>The safety of passengers is a priority, and measures are already in place to protect people’s health and safety when travelling by air. All airports are asked to follow Public Health England guidance on preventing the spread of COVID-19. Public Health England has also provided specific guidance on health and safety for flight crews. The advice for travellers is the same as for the rest of the UK population.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s “stay at home” posters are on display at all UK airports and many airports have the messaging on digital screens as well. Airports and airlines have also been provided with Public Health England leaflets to give to passengers outlining the symptoms of COVID-19, current guidance, and general public health advice.</p><p> </p><p>Our approach is being kept under review as the pandemic develops.</p><p>This may mean that measures and procedures change as we control the spread of, and understand more about, the virus. Any changes to our approach will be led by advice from SAGE and the Chief Medical Officer. Protecting the health of the UK public will always come first.</p><p>The Department is monitoring closely the measures being put in place in many countries, including all European countries. We continue to work closely with international partners to consider what measures are appropriate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 05/05/2020 15:29:01 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

These staff have to attend the workplace for their contracted working hours. Staff working from home are mainly in support areas, for example, policy, finance, HR and IT. These staff are doing their jobs fully effectively remotely.</p><p>The Welsh Government’s guidance, updated on 25 March, continues to ask those who can work from home to do so. The DVLA has opened up space for these staff to attend the office when they need to, such as for meetings or workshops and plans are in place to return staff to the office when restrictions lift further.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 06/04/2022 10:40:50 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
