Wilko issues apology after 20,000 staff told to work while Covid positive

Wilko has issued an apology on their Covid policy after it was revealed that thousands of workers had been told to attend work, even if they had tested positive for the virus.

In the memo, more than 20,000 staff and warehouse employees were told that they could still come into work if they caught the virus but presented no symptoms.
