People who are clinically extremely vulnerable and living under tier 3 COVID-19 restrictions are strongly advised to work from home where at all possible. If they cannot work from home, a clinically extremely vulnerable person can still go to work as their employer is required to take steps to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace.

If a person has any concerns about their health and safety at work, they should raise them with their workplace union, the Health and Safety Executive or their local authority.
