Boris Johnson's government tells people to work from home just weeks after warning home-workers they risk the sack
This follows weeks of his government urging people in England to return to offices.His government will also introduce a 10pm curfew for pubs, bars, and restaurants.Boris Johnson will today urge people to work from home if they can in order to stop a spike in coronavirus infections, just weeks after launching a back to work drive.
However, Michael Gove, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on Tuesday said that the government was now encouraging people to work from home where possible.: "There is going to be a shift in emphasis and one of the things we are going to emphasise is that if it is possible for people to work from home, then we'd encourage them to do so."
"There are people in manufacturing, in construction, in retail, and other roles where we recognise that is simply impossible and that's why we have worked to make sure you can have Covid-secure workplaces. The U-turn will be among a series of measures announced by Johnson when he addresses members of Parliament about the government's response to the recent resurgence of the virus at Tuesday lunch time.
