Coronavirus or COVID-19 is an illness that can affect people’s airways and lungs. With cases of coronavirus reported around the globe, including in the UK, governments and health organisations are taking steps to contain the spread of the virus and support businesses to protect themselves.

​

If you are an employer or a business owner the Government encourages you to read and follow the guidance for employers and businesses.

The government have produced  14 guides to cover a range of different types of work. Many businesses operate more than one type of workplace, such as an office, factory and fleet of vehicles. You may need to use more than one of these guides as you think through what you need to do to keep people safe. Priority actions are outlined at the top of each guide.
