Tesco angers staff over 'unfair' Covid-19 quarantine rules

Staff at Tesco’s UK headquarters are angry about new rules stipulating they must take unpaid or annual leave if they need to quarantine at home following an overseas trip. The new rules recently implemented by the supermarket giant are viewed as unfair given many office-based staff at the FTSE 100 company have been working from home since Britain entered lockdown in March. They say they would be able to carry out their jobs as normal if made to quarantine. The unrest comes as the UK Government is under pressure to implement quarantine restrictions for holidaymakers returning to England from Greece and as companies wrestle with the implementation of new employment rules as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
