Business bosses have been urged not to rush workers back into Norwich offices - amid concern rising city coronavirus rates could trigger a spate of staff having to self-isolate.
But Stephen Evans, Norwich City Council chief executive, said the return of workers to City Hall will be a gradual process - and hopes other major employers will adopt a similar approach.
Cases in Norwich are rising. Between Wednesday, July 7 and Tuesday, July 13, 324 people had a confirmed positive result - an increase of more than 100pc on the previous week.
