As of 1 January 2020, we are in the transition period during which the United Kingdom will continue to follow European legislation and European Medicines Agency (EMA) processes and decisions until 31 December 2020. We continue to receive public safety information from the EMA and have firm links with the World Health Organization and other key international public health organisations working on this issue. The Government has set out its negotiation approach with the European Union, which includes commitments for cooperation and information sharing to enable regulators to act promptly to safeguard patient safety and public health.<\/p>
The UK is a world leader in preparing for and managing public health incidents and on 3 March the Government published its action plan to tackle the spread of coronavirus. A copy of Coronavirus: action plan. A guide to what you can expect across the UK<\/em> is attached.<\/p>"}

There are also controls on the use of pesticides, including training of users and testing of application equipment.<\/p> <\/p> It is for local authorities to determine the need for pest and weed control in their operations and to decide how to deliver this effectively without harming people or the environment.
