<p>Our message to the British public is clear: stay at home, in order to protect the
NHS and save lives. The position remains, as outlined on <a href="http://gov.uk/"
target="_blank">gov.uk</a>, that everyone who can work from home should do so.</p><p>Where
that is not possible, people should go into work where it is safe and they are not
symptomatic, isolating or shielding. Relevant guidance including from Public Health
England should be followed.</p><p>In terms of the provision of education for the children
of certain key workers, it is already the case that security officers and private
security workers working in, for example, hospitals and social care could be eligible
as long as "their specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential
public service". This is set out here - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision"

Government has placed restrictions on the operations of certain businesses as part
of the strategy to ensure people stay at home and away from others. Separate guidance
has been published on this and is also available on <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a>.</p>
