Government's draft plans for getting back to work
Boris Johnson will set out the Government's "roadmap" to exiting lockdown in an address on Sunday.
Under the draft plan, seen by The Telegraph's Economics reporter Lizzie Burden, firms will be encouraged to stop colleagues from hot desking and sharing equipment, stagger shift times and maximise home-working.
The Department for Business docs also highlights additional hygiene procedures, physical screens and the use of protective equipment should be considered where maintaining distancing of two metres between workers is impossible.
They also suggest shifts be staggered, staff canteens will stay closed and lifts kept half-empty. Regular face-to-face meetings will likely become a thing of the past - people will be urged to do virtual meetings where possible, and if not there should be markings to set out where someone can sit.
