Allow people to work from home to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19
Government/Parliament should recommend that employees should have the option to work remotely in order to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19.
The majority of the people use public transport to reach their place of work. Social distancing is encouraged but impossible to act upon on packed trains or in crowded offices.
Cases are rising rapidly and we should prevent the spread of the virus before it is too late.
UK based companies should follow the example of large corporate such as Amazon, Facebook or Microsoft and allow employees to work from home and travel to their place of work only when strictly necessary.
