Boris Johnson accused of using Whitehall staff as ‘guinea pigs’ amid coronavirus outbreaks


Civil servants are in open rebellion against Boris Johnson’s back-to-work plan, following two fresh coronavirus outbreaks in Whitehall.

Senior officials claim their staff are being used as “guinea pigs for the government’s plans to boost the economy by sending people back to their offices”, The Times reports.

Whitehall departments have carried out assessments to establish “how many people can safely return to work”, but bosses “have made clear to their staff that civil servants will not be forced back into the office if they do not want to go”, the newspaper adds.
