- If you would like to keep up-to-date with the government information as it comes out then you can sign up to their Covid-19 response bulletin
- Public Health England (PHE) has FAQs that will be updated regularly
- This guidance, developed with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, aims to assist employers and businesses in providing advice to their staff
