Snacking should be banned from the work place in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Public Health England is set to issue more advice about how to avoid the Covid-19 strain of the disease as it courses through the country.
Those working in offices will be urged not to leave any foods unwrapped or exposed, The Sun reported.
Sharing of snacks is also a big no-no, due to the possibility that the virus could be transmitted via the communal snacks.
This will follow advice from Health Protection Scotland warning against sharing treats in the work place.
Health secretary Matt Hancock confirmed that the advice was impending during a speech in the House of Commons yesterday.
He said: "We are working very closely with Health Protection Scotland, and Public Health England will shortly be bringing forward further updated guidance that we have been working on over the weekend."
Scientists are continuing to expand their understanding of how the coronvairus is spreading.
It is usually transmitted through droplets of saliva or mucus carried in the air for up to six feet or so when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Viral particles may be breathed in, land on surfaces that people touch or be transferred when shaking hands or sharing a drink with someone who has the virus.
Often it's obvious if a person is unwell. But there are cases where those who do not feel sick pass it on.
Exactly how this happens - and how often - is not yet known.
As of Tuesday evening, there were 373 confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK.
So far six people in the country have lost their lives to the disease.
