section_content: In this section

2.1 Protecting people who are at higher risk
2.2 People who need to self-isolate
2.3 Equality in the workplace

Objective: That everyone should work from home, unless they cannot work from
home.
Steps that will usually be needed:

Staff should work from home if at all possible. Consider who is needed to be on-site; for example:   

– workers in roles critical for business and operational continuity, safe
facility management, or regulatory requirements and which cannot be performed
remotely.  
– workers in critical roles which might be performed remotely, but who are
unable to work remotely due to home circumstances or the unavailability of
safe enabling equipment.


Planning for the minimum number of people needed on site to operate safely and effectively.


Monitoring the wellbeing of people who are working from home and helping them stay connected to the rest of the workforce, especially if the majority of their colleagues are on-site.


Keeping in touch with off-site workers on their working arrangements including their welfare, mental and physical health and personal security.


Providing equipment for people to work at home safely and effectively, for example, remote access to work systems.



Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It neither answers whether anyone is obliged to go to work now who can decline.
The response is generic and doesn't really state who is considered a critical worker. It also does not state whether a worker can decline to come in or not.

section_headers: If you have issued a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) or a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) and the sponsored employee or student has not yet applied for a visa
section_content: The employee or student will still be able to apply for a visa.
The start date for the course or employment stated on the CoS or CAS may have
changed. We will not automatically refuse such cases.
For example, we may accept a CoS or CAS if they have become invalid because
the employee or student was unable to travel as a result of coronavirus. We
will consider this on a case by case basis.
[CoS]: Certificate of Sponsorship
  [CAS]: confirmation of acceptance for studies

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response doesn't have anything to do with either part of the initial question at all. It is discussing student visas.
This answer does not even begin to talk about work obligations or the possibility or legal ramifications of declining work.

The answer doesn't address who is obliged to work and who can decline.
While the response pertains to the question in a generic overall sense it does not answer either question.
