Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance he is providing to people who (a) work in and (b) commute from an area with different three-tier covid-19 restrictions.

Everyone is currently advised to work from home where possible. We do however recognise this is not possible for all, and some workers must continue to commute between different local alert levels.

In COVID-19 level alert medium and high areas, no restrictions will apply to travel or transport. We advise people to keep travel to a minimum in local COVID alert level high and people should not travel in or out of local COVID alert level very high areas, though travel for work can continue. People will be advised to walk and cycle where possible, or to plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes if using public transport.
