+  * Where it is not possible for people to be 2m apart, you should do everything possible to manage the risk of transmission. This can be done by using screens or barriers to separate people from each other. Staggering arrival and departure times. Reducing the number of people each person has contact with by using ‘fixed terms or partnering.’.
