In addition to supermarket checkout counters, clear plastic dividers can also become standard equipment at bank and store counters.
The British government intends to gradually lift the blockade measures in stages, allowing people to return to work. The draft of the disclosed plan requires employers to reduce the use of shared office equipment, arrange for employees to work separate hours, and even use different levels of personal protective equipment to work.
The draft plan also recommends that even if employees return to work, the employee cafeteria on the office premises should continue to be closed, and the employer should also arrange for employees to work from home as much as possible. .
After consulting with various employers, employee unions and industry associations in the business sector, the UK Department of Commerce proposed seven draft plans detailing how to lift the blockade in stages and allow people to return to work.
Prime Minister Johnson will announce the roadmap to lift the blockade on Sunday.
Labor protection measures
According to a draft plan the BBC has seen, if the workplace cannot maintain a safe distance of two meters, other alternatives should be taken, including more disinfection precautions, protective partitions and personal protective equipment.
However, in terms of personal protective equipment, the government’s draft plan does not specify how to get enough personal protective equipment.
The government draft proposes allowing employees to go to work at another time, in order to reduce the number of people working in the office at the same time. The adhesive strips should be attached to the floor of the workplace to clearly mark the distance from safe separation.

The government draft recommends that workplaces be secured with adhesive tapes, clearly marking the safe separation distance.
Personal protection equipment
With regard to the supply and use of personal protective equipment in the workplace, trade unions and industry associations have expressed concern.
Adam Marshall, president of the British Chamber of Commerce, said the draft plan will clarify whether employers should provide employees with personal protective equipment.
The worst case scenario is that all walks of life are finally competing with NHS medical services to buy personal protective equipment, making it more difficult for hospitals and nursing homes to buy personal protective equipment than to otherwise it is very difficult to obtain.
He said personal protective equipment must be purchased or produced by the state in a unified plan so that problems in all respects can be resolved.
Unlock in stages
The death toll from the new British coronavirus has reached 28,446, second only to Italy in European countries.
There are currently 14,248 new CVs in hospital treatment, but the number of hospitalized patients has gradually decreased and the number of critically ill patients has also gradually decreased.
The British government emphasized that the blockade measures will only be lifted if all five conditions are met. These five conditions include that the number of daily deaths must be reduced to an acceptable level, and that loosening measures will not cause a second wave of spikes Etc.
British Cabinet Minister Michael Gove said Britain cannot “return to the previous normal state by pressing a switch.”
He said the lifting of the embargo measures is to adopt a “phased approach” to control the impact of the embargo measures on public health, and does not rule out “regional differences”.
