Dear HICSF Members, I hope everyone is well in these trying times, please see additional information below from Liz Hunter of the HSE.
I wanted to tell members that any enforcement of measures to reduce the spread of COVID 19 will be dealt with by Highland Council officials in specific workplace premises. See links below.
