It doesn't need politicians to suggest that though does it? And it should remain suggested if at all possible for non-covid reasons too - reducing emissions from travelling, crowding on PT etc.
Companies don't need the government to dictate or to tell them that. It's common sense that if someone goes into the workplace with a virus other members of staff in the workplace will probably catch it. And if they are working from home the chances of them coming into contact with others with the virus will be diminished. It doesn't even need to be covid, you see previously how you can get outbreaks of colds, flu, norovirus, anything else in a closed environment where a lot of people are sat close together all day.
But they should still consider some sort of hybrid working with not everyone in the office all the time, and respect the wishes of employees who would still prefer to work from home (provided doing so didn't impact on their performance) who may have other requirements, dependents with CEV, or may simply just feel safer.

And because they don't work yet some people think forcing everyone to wear one is the right answer.
OK, so yes some face covering (preferably a surgical grade one) may help stop spread on public transport and in healthcare settings and this should be strongly suggested, but people wearing a bit of cloth in a shop for 2 minutes, which they pulled up off their chin?
