UK's government is working closely with sectors hurt by COVID isolation rules

LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Britain's government is working
closely with those sectors impacted by an increased number of
workers being forced to self-isolate at home after being
contacted by a coronavirus app saying they had been in close
proximity to a confirmed case.

"We're obviously aware of the impact that is being felt by
some industries and we are obviously working closely with them,
specifically on supermarket shelves and food," Prime Minister
Boris Johnson's spokesman said on Thursday.

"We have a robust and resilient food supply chain in the
UK," he added. The government is expected to publish guidance
for businesses hoping to be exempted from self isolation rules
shortly.
