Coronavirus: What’s happening where you work?......
The coronavirus crisis has turned the UK upside down in a matter of weeks.
Many employers have quickly acted to safeguard their workers’ health and livelihoods, with distancing measures and protective equipment, or guaranteeing full pay for workers who are sent home.
