Coronavirus
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has of today March 9th 2020 109,578 confirmed cases Globally and UK lock-down whilst a severe step, looks imminent and possibly necessary in order for the UK to get swift control over the outbreak.
This is a major outbreak and will not be the last. In a press conference held today Professor Chris Whitty (Chief Medical Adviser to the Government), has today spoken of the likelihood of a decision to restrict movement for 7 days for people with fever or mild respiratory tract infection. He went on to say “This advice is likely to have huge repercussions for workplaces across the country.”

- How prepared are you for workers to be restricted to home working?
- Have you got secure, remote access in place?
- Will the infrastructure and licensing scale to the potential of users needing to use it?
- Do they all have sufficient bandwidth?
