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.
Nobody should go to work if your business is closed under current government
regulations.
Steps that will usually be needed:


Considering who is essential to be on site; for example, those not in customer-facing roles such as administrative staff should work from home if at all possible.


Planning for the minimum number of people needed on the premises 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 administrative staff with equipment to work from home safely and effectively, for example, remote access to work systems.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Vehicles
section_headers: 1. Thinking about risk
1.1 Managing risk
section_content: Objective: To reduce risk to the lowest reasonably practicable level by taking
preventative measures, in order of priority
Employers have a duty to reduce workplace risk to the lowest reasonably
practicable level by taking preventative measures. Employers must work with
any other employers or contractors sharing the workplace so that everybody’s
health and safety is protected.
In the context of COVID-19 this means working through these steps in order:


In every workplace, increasing the frequency of handwashing and surface cleaning.


Businesses and workplaces should make every reasonable effort to enable working from home as a first option. Where working from home is not possible, workplaces should make every reasonable effort to comply with the social distancing guidelines set out by the government (keeping people 2m apart wherever possible).


Where the social distancing guidelines cannot be followed in full, in relation to a particular activity, businesses should consider whether that activity needs to continue for the business to operate, and, if so, take all the mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission between their staff.   


Further mitigating actions include:  
– increasing the frequency of handwashing and surface cleaning
– keeping the activity time involved as short as possible
– using screens or barriers to separate people from each other
– using back-to-back or side-to-side working (rather than face-to-face)
whenever possible
– reducing the number of people each person has contact with by using ‘fixed
teams or partnering’ (so each person works with only a few others)

Finally, if people must work face-to-face for a sustained period with more than a small group of fixed partners, then you will need to assess whether the activity can safely go ahead. No one is obliged to work in an unsafe work environment.   

In your assessment you should have particular regard to whether the people
doing the work are especially vulnerable to COVID-19.
The recommendations in the rest of this document are ones you should consider
as you go through this process. You could also consider any advice that has
been produced specifically for your sector, for example by trade associations
or trades unions.
If you have not already done so, you should carry out an assessment of the
risks posed by COVID-19 in your workplace as soon as possible. If you are
currently operating, you are likely to have gone through a lot of this
thinking already. We recommend that you use this document to identify any
further improvements you should make.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: What care should staff visiting families in their own homes take?
section_content: Social workers, other children’s social care staff and anyone else considering
the need for a home visit should follow the children’s social care services
guidance and make a judgement
about visiting which balances considerations of the:

risks to children and young people
risks to families
risks to the workforce
national guidance on social distancing and hygiene
statutory responsibilities, including safeguarding

Staff and their managers are best placed to make professional judgements of
risk in each case and decide what form of contact they need.
There are many ways to keep in touch with a child, young person or family
without physical face-to-face contact. It is expected that these will be
utilised appropriately and proportionately, including in response to any risk
assessment undertaken for the child on a case by case basis.
Prior to undertaking a visit, an attempt should be made to ascertain whether
any member of the household is suffering from symptoms of coronavirus. An
initial risk assessment, where possible, should take place by
telephone.
Where households report no coronavirus symptoms, no PPE is required, but a
distance of 2 metres should be maintained where possible. Where this is not
possible, you should undertake a risk
assessment. Good basic hygiene should be followed, such as
handwashing or use of sanitiser before and after the visit, and not touching
your face during the visit.
Where households are reporting coronavirus symptoms, PPE should be worn if a
distance of 2 metres cannot be maintained.
Where it is not possible to ascertain whether any member of the household is
suffering from symptoms of coronavirus prior to face to face contact, steps
should be taken where practical, to mitigate risk. These steps include but are
not restricted to:

knocking on the front door or ringing the doorbell and then stepping back to a distance of 2 metres in adherence to social distancing guidelines
taking PPE as a precautionary measure

*[PPE]: personal protective equipment

Context of answer is home visits. Context of question is not indicating home visits.
It included a lot of irrelevant information. The question isn't about households.
