Avoided a couple of questions - e.g. On both could masks remain and a return to the office.
Israel kept masks indoors long after the stage we are at in their hugely successful vaccination campaign.
While there might not be a legal restriction on offies, or distancing rules, that doesn’t mean employers won’t keep a significant proportion of staff out of offices (and out of danger). They do still have obligations under various health and safety legislation to mitigate, and with the rules requiring even those vaccinated to self isolate in close contact to those testing positive could cause significant disruption to businesses.
Indeed at least one Civil Service department is moving it’s employees to enshrine working from home two days per week. If Government are leading by example, the example isn’t the one the Iain Duncan Smiths of this world were pushing for last September. This will have some economic impact well beyond July 19.
