    Hiring tradesman during coronavirus

    What is happening at the moment with regards to installation work due to the coronavirus? Will we need to wear masks when interacting with the contractors? Will we need to stay away while they work for the sake of social distancing? Can we offer them food, a cup of tea, etc.? It’d just be good to know in advance these sorts of details as it’s still a lot to get used to how different things are at the moment. Thanks for your time!
