We have been given guidance. This relates to a committee that is doing important work, we hope, in terms of getting answers relating to Covid-19. The guidance very clearly states that even asking people to leave a room for two hours will not change the assessment and that, in the context of the controls, people who have been in contact in a room for over two hours should be asked to self-isolate within 14 days. Has that advice been conveyed to employers and places like meat factories regarding an instance of an individual contracting Covid-19? Essentially, in those settings, that means everybody will be asked to self-isolate for 14 days.
