As the number of confirmed coronavirus cases surged in the UK this week, the government rushed emergency legislation through both Houses, and the Coronavirus Act 2020 (‘the Act’) subsequently received Royal Assent on 25 March 2020.
Yesterday evening Boris Johnson introduced strict new measures to tackle the spread of COVID-19, with the overall message being ‘Stay at home’.
Amid the current COVID-19 pandemic, we recognise that there is a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty amongst those working within the healthcare sector. Regulatory bodies in the UK have responded to this by publishing advice and guidance for practitioners on their registers.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in the UK has caused unprecedented disruption and uncertainty across all aspects of our society. Workers are being encouraged to work from home where they can, to play their vital part in social distancing to prevent the spread of the infection, with self-isolation required if you, or a member of your household, are displaying symptoms of the virus.
We are living in unprecedented times. Boris Johnson’s announcements each day, whilst aimed at slowing the growth of the global pandemic which is COVID-19 (Coronavirus), will undoubtedly have a drastic effect on businesses in all sectors.
