“Instead of government telling people to work from home, we’re going to give employers more discretion and ask them to make decisions about how their staff could work safely,” Johnson said at a Downing Street press briefing.
“In the end, human interaction and face to face conversations are important,” Johnson added. “Whether people should or need to go into work is not something the government can decide.”
