Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether people in the clinically vulnerable category who cannot work from home should stay at home during the covid-19 outbreak in the event that (a) their employer cannot guarantee that social distancing will be possible at all times in the workplace and (b) they cannot travel to work in a way in which social distancing can be adhered to; and if he will make a statement.

Guidance for adults who are clinically vulnerable remains that they should follow stringent social distancing measures. We continue to advise those who are clinically extremely vulnerable to shield at home until at least the end of June.
