As the guidance now states public transport is only for essential travel only (which includes work) we've taken their views on a Teams call today and we'll be asking them all to continue working from home until further notice.
I'm hearing similar things from my peers across businesses as well.
Good to see that you've taken the views of the staff into account, that seems very rare these days!
I personally don't see how they can say public transport is for essential travel only, yet still allow pubs to remain open. Surely there's a higher chance of catching COVID at a pub than their is getting the bus
