A global health chief yesterday urged workers to get back to the office, saying people should not be ‘too scared’ of returning to normality. Dr Hans Kluge said it was important for people to get out and have fun and return to workplaces for the sake of the economy and their own mental health. It comes amid a spike in Covid-19 cases in Britain, with one Government-led study yesterday suggesting infections are doubling every week. Howard Beckett, assistant general secretary of Unite, told a rally that Boris Johnson’s call for people to return to their workplaces was putting lives at risk. Figures suggest young people have largely fuelled Britain’s spike in cases, as well as in other countries such as France and Spain.
