Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance has been issued to police on the criteria that frontline officers may use to determine if a person is sufficiently alert for the purposes of Government covid-19 guidelines.
We are working closely with policing partners to make sure there is clear guidance for officers on what the new measures entail.?This guidance is available at https://www.college.police.uk/What-we-do/COVID-19/understanding-the-law/Pages/default.aspx
We expect people to do the right thing and follow the guidance that will help to keep us all safe. And the Gov.uk guidance is clear in its instruction to the general public:?https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/staying-alert-and-safe-social-distancing
