The Department of Justice and Equality has confirmed new measures to ensure social distancing guidelines are being rolled out from today (Monday). New guidelines are set to protect the health and safety of staff, while maintaining services to the Government and wider public during the Covid-19 crisis.

New flexible working procedures will see employees split into teams, with each team moving between remote working and office-based work on alternate days.

The Department has acknowledged the hard work by all during this time. And it has confirmed it is planning for any further changes to public health advice that may emerge.
