The government has confirmed a number of professions will continue to work throughout the January lockdown – with construction and factory workers expected to continue as normal despite the nationwide stay at home order.
Construction workers and builders in England will be expected to continue to work to their employers’ schedules throughout the restrictions.
It follows similar allowances in previous lockdowns - with regulations allowing builders to continue to work in the March 2020 lockdown despite pushback from the industry and a number of sites shutting their gates as they waited for clearer guidance from the government.
Cleaners and other tradespeople will also continue to be able to work inside the homes of others throughout lockdown, while those working in manufacturing may also attend their workplaces.
