Bang on the money. All 3 sites have lifts (one has 6 floors) which would obviously be off limits. All floors would need to have the seating arrangements changed as very few if any of us have someone more than a metre or so away from our desks. We have always had a robust BCP but this is obviously the first time we’ve needed to put it in to action and management are massively impressed at how well we have all adapted. Other than calls usually taking a little longer to answer than normal it’s very much been business as usual. Management has told us that business such as ours would be towards last on the list to reopen fully.

Adoption remains strongest with 18-24 and 25-34-year-olds, among whom mobile ownership is almost universal: 93% and 94% adoption respectively. Within the previously resistant 45+ groups, adoption has leapt from 60 to 90% for the 45-54 age band, and up to 80% for the 55-75 band.

A contact-tracing app could help stop the coronavirus pandemic, but 80% of current smartphone owners would need to use it, say experts advising the NHS.
The University of Oxford's Big Data Institute has modelled a city of one million people to simulate the software's impact.
If there is lower uptake, academics say the app would still help slow the spread of Covid-19.
They add that letting people self-diagnose the illness could be critical.
That means users would only have to answer an on-screen questionnaire before being judged to be at significant risk of infection. They would not have to speak to a health advisor or wait for a medical test result.
This would send a cascade of alerts to people they had recently been in proximity to, advising them to go back into self-isolation.

The team estimates that 56% of the general population must use the app to halt the outbreak. Prof Fraser said that equated to 80% of all existing smartphone owners, based on data from Ofcom.

Prof Fraser said that officials were discussing giving smartphones to those without - or cheaper, wearable Bluetooth devices - in order to boost the number of citizens involved.

Re: Coronavirus
Be interesting to compare population numbers for areas.
Visually Derby seems to have more than would be expected. Stanley, County Durham seems even more so, 18 just in South Stanley. That's 29 deaths for a population of 31,000(?), about twice the national average(?).

Scotland has its own lockdown. Any similarity to the English one is purely coincidental.
