摘要

Farmers are being advised to remain vigilant to the dangers and risks of Covid-19 ahead of this year's harvest.The latest government guidance across all the devolved nations is for many of the rules that have been implemented since the beginning of the pandemic to be relaxed over the next couple of months.With the number of reported Covid-19 cases on the rise, concerns have been raised about the effect of this on agriculture's workforce.If workers contract the virus or have to self-isolate after being in contact with someone who tests positive, businesses could be without key staff during harvest.
