Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when he will clarify the guidance to workers who are not shielding but have a condition that makes them clinically vulnerable to COVID-19, to ensure they are entitled to work from home or offered suitable alternative options.

Answer:

As restrictions ease it is still vital we all continue to play our role in reducing the risk of transmission of Covid-19. The message continues to be when possible you should continue to work from home however for those employers who require employees to come into their place of work they must complete a risk assessment and put reasonable measures in place to protect their employees.
