In summary the below action will be followed by our team with immediate effect

Travel and health
• if you or any of your family have recently returned to the UK from any of the high risk or named areas/regions/countries, they should self-isolate, call NHS 111 and notify me immediately even if they do not have symptoms
• If you or any of your family are diagnosed with Coronavirus or have been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, they must notify me immediately, so we can follow the public health guidance and protocols in place at that time
• If we were to have a confirmed case of Coronavirus, we will follow the public health guidance and protocols in place at that time
• if you are feeling unwell with even mild cold/flu symptoms, please talk to me before coming into work

Clean and Hygienic Workplaces
• People must now more regularly and thoroughly wash their hands throughout the day with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser- this must be always when arriving at or leaving any of our premises or locations, before and after eating and before making a drink
• We have also reiterated the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ public health advice, again followed by handwashing, whenever people sneeze or cough. Please use and safely bin your tissue
• Our external cleaners are ensuring the highest use areas – e.g., door handles, light switches etc – are thoroughly and hygienically cleaned – this is in addition to normal cleaning routines. We are also liaising with our cleaners to use appropriate cleaning products which will help minimise the virus spread.
Like everyone, we are continuing to monitor public health advice and will adapt our working practices as the situation evolves. If anyone has any concerns about any of the above please speak with me directly.

Kind regards

Managing Director
