County gives guidance for businesses over coronavirus regulations

Businesses in Denbighshire are being reminded of the rules around trading during the current lockdown by the county council.

Welsh Government regulations state all businesses still operating must take all reasonable measures to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus for both customers and staff.

Businesses must complete a risk assessment in relation to coronavirus while retail premises, including takeaways, must control numbers entering and provide hand sanitisers as well as signs and announcements to remind customers of the need to wear face coverings and maintain social distancing.

Cllr Mark Young, Denbighshire County Council’s Lead Member for Planning, Public Protection and Safer Communities, said: “Businesses in Denbighshire have worked hard during the last year to follow regulations from the Welsh Government. They have played a vital role in keeping Denbighshire safe and protecting the most vulnerable in our communities.

“It is important, with the more transmittable variant of the virus, that businesses continue to follow the regulations. This includes taking all reasonable measures to ensure social distancing is followed.”
