Government advice to work from home could continue beyond June the 21st as the price of lifting other coronavirus restrictions, under plans being discussed in Whitehall.
Government sources on Thursday confirmed that officials were examining whether to retain the “work from home” guidance as a mitigating measure in the event that Covid hospitalisations and deaths surge in coming weeks.
The Prime Minister has said June the 21st is the final step date in his roadmap out of Covid restrictions.
Despite this, he will not make a firm decision about how to proceed until a week beforehand on June 14th.
A Treasury source told The Telegraph: “Obviously working from home does have some consequences, but there’s no difference between now and two weeks’ time because the economic support will still be in place. There’s not that imperative to change the advice.”
