Going into winter, when more people will be socialising indoors or may start socialising outdoors and then move indoors, it is essential to have clear and well-understood rules, in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Venues like pubs, restaurants and other leisure settings like cinemas must follow COVID-19 Secure guidelines, including making sure there is adequate social distancing. Businesses are making significant efforts to ensure their workspaces are COVID-19 Secure and only then bring back employees. With these measures in place, employees should remain safe.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 24/09/2020 15:56:13 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
