Discount retailer Wilko has apologised after issuing “reckless” guidance to staff telling them they could come to work even if they test positive for coronavirus.
Following the government’s move last month to scrap the legal self-isolation requirement in England as part of its “living with Covid” plans, a workplace policy memo was sent to staff at the homeware chain, which employs some 16,000 people across more than 400 stores in the UK.
