We all have a part to play to help everyone stay safe and protect Buckinghamshire.
"Whilst the vast majority of businesses are taking their responsibilities really seriously, we need every single one to do their bit to help us to control the risk and protect people from the spread of coronavirus.
“In the coming weeks, we will be talking to local businesses in Buckinghamshire to offer helpful advice and to understand how they are managing risks in line with their specific business activity. All businesses are in scope for these spot checks. So any businesses of any size, in any sector could get a call or a visit.”
