The Minister did not answer but he spoke in the answer section, which is fine. He may not have the information.

My third question relates to the conditions of workers who are in what are deemed essential workplaces and are currently going to work. I have been inundated by communication from workers stating that they do not feel safe at work. For example, Bausch & Lomb employees state a factory is working with hundreds of employees without the required distancing and machines being shared with four or five people, and workers scared to speak out. In another case, a fast-food shop, a worker states they are too busy for social distancing.
