It is still possible to catch and spread COVID-19 – even if you are fully vaccinated.
Although there are regional variations, UK guidance is fairly consistent within the four home nations – the common steps still being promoted to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19 are;
The government has now removed the remaining domestic restrictions in England, and Northern Ireland’s remaining COVID-19 restrictions have also been relaxed – what was previously legally-binding (such as wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces) is now merely guidance.
The vaccine passport scheme is no longer a requirement for events or venues in the UK.
The Covid situation is constantly evolving and keeping on top of your risk assessments is a key part of dealing with the changing requirements – you should also make sure all significant revisions to risk assessments are communicated to your workers / other relevant persons, and that relevant employees are adequately equipped to work safely wherever they may be required.
