Food distributors complain of lack of detail over Covid tests
The government's Covid test scheme to prevent workers having to self-isolate is a "pointless solution" because it excludes supermarket workers, according to the boss of the Iceland chain.
He said Iceland had still not received any information regarding additional testing centres for its depot workers and that the plans "feel a bit like spin". Fewer Iceland staff are being pinged now and Mr Walker said with the entry to peak holiday season and all of their sick pay used up, "it feels to me like potentially they're starting to delete the app en masse, in numbers that they weren't previously doing, and to be honest who can blame them."Krissy Fremont says her company has been left "completely in the dark"
She has emailed the government for clarification, but so far has only received an automated response. Four other businesses she trades with have closed because of Covid and the problems with driver shortages which have also increased her delivery costs by 25%. Smaller wholesalers can apply for specific exemptions for fully-vaccinated individual members of staff in critical roles, but there might be a 24-hour delay in hearing back whether they can do so.
