"travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home.". What does that mean? I have no idea.

Prime Minister's statement on coronavirus (COVID-19): 23 March 2020

It means....is it necessary that you go to work....yes.....can I work from home.....no....... pretty clear to me

 

[MJPD29]

Are we key workers? Problem is I travel to 4 jobs a day sometimes, does that still count as to and from work? He needs to step up and make it clear that statement hasnt cleared up anything except to limit my already extremely limited exercise. But I can live with that.

 

[Baddegg]

I don’t think he said only key workers if necessary.....

 

[buzzlightyear]

Are we key workers

no is the answer ,but I am .lol.

Hardware stores to stay open, does that include the wholesalers do you think?
Building sites to stay open says "the sun" for what thats worth

 

[buzzlightyear]

Hardware stores to stay open

no is the answer ,I will pop next door and ask the PM.

It means....is it necessary that you go to work....yes.....can I work from home.....no....... pretty clear to me

Not what it means at all. It is only necessary that you go to work if you are listed as a key or critical worker. So if you can’t work from home then you don’t work simple as that. An exception would be for a call out were someone has a power outage or suchlike but not to do routine works. The more people that go out unnecessarily the longer this will go on.

Key worker .....

BBC says hardware stores are to stay open

 

[James]

Remember, trade counters are not considered shops.
They are there for business to business trade, not the same as shopping for a new blouse.

Interesting...

What's the source?

 

[Lister1987]

Sparks and gas/plumbers would come under key workers by virtue of what they do (an extension of utilities, simply put) without them no lighting, heating and water

It is easy; your skillset is essential, the types of job you attend aren't always essential (see example above) so it is down to you to be making those judgement calls on the jobs you attend

 

[plugsandsparks]

I read it as all work stops unless essential (to health , safety etc)
I am going to a site i work at tomorrow to close it all down, set alarms to Police response
Not expecting to go back for months :-(
