Garden centre U-turns after asking Covid-19 positive staff to come into work

A garden centre has issued an apology after it sent a memo to staff advising they come into work even if they test positive for Covid-19.

Bents Garden and Home, on Warrington Road, Leigh End, recently sent a 'weekly briefing' to colleagues updating them on current government guidance and to give clarity on 'working going forward within Bents whilst living with Covid-19'.

The briefing, seen by the MEN, tells staff that they are no longer legally required to self isolate if they test positive for Covid-19. It goes onto say that if they test positive for Covid-19 but 'feel generally well enough to be in work, can attend work'.
