Work-from-home guidance will remain in place for some months, despite outdoor gatherings and sport resuming across England.
Asked if it was still the plan that the work-from-home guidance was going to stay in force until June 21, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “From the road map, it remains the case that people must continue to only go to work if it’s not reasonable for them to work from home.
“Business and workers have made huge efforts throughout the past year or so to support that.”
He added: “The work-from-home guidance remains that we continue to ask people to only go to work if they can’t reasonably work from home.”
Asked about the Government’s long-term plan for civil servants, the spokesman said: “We’ve committed to consulting on making flexible working the default unless employers have good reasons not to. That consultation will be launched in due course.”
His comments come as people across England have begun taking advantage of the relaxation of lockdown measures.
Groups of up to six, or two households, can socialise in parks and gardens once more, while outdoor sports facilities can reopen after the stay-at-home order ended on Monday.
