Hi

It is not just a lockdown that we need to be prepared for, but also the impact on any one of us in business, should a COVID-19 positive person visit our premises. A reminder to us all how important it is to encourage all our visitors to scan our QR codes on entry to our premises. To make it easy, make sure you have several copies of your QR code at all entry and exit points to protect your business and us all.
