Staff at one of West Cumbria’s biggest employers have shared their fears over rising Covid cases in the workplace. As the number of positive results continues to rise across the country, Sellafield employees are becoming increasingly concerned about health and safety, with one staff member even claiming that masks were “no longer allowed”. But a spokesman for the company stressed this was not true, adding: “We are asking all employees to wear a mask when they’re inside a building, unless they are at their desk.” It was also confirmed that 80 new Covid cases had been confirmed among the Sellafield workforce this week, with 11 of these being tested at the site’s test and trace facility.
