Reducing social contact

Although social distancing guidance no longer applies, and there are no limits on social contact between people from different households, Covid-19 can still be spread through social contact. Employers can mitigate this risk by using the practical measures set out on page 23 (see Droplets). They should also take account of those with protected characteristics and discuss with disabled workers what reasonable adjustments can be put in place so they can work safely. They should assign workstations to an individual if possible. If this is not possible, workstations should be cleaned between each user.
