On 23 March the UK went into lockdown as Covid-19 rapidly spread throughout the country. Many businesses were told to close-up shop, workers were told to work from home and the economy essentially shut down for the following four months. However, it has recently been reported that in factories supplying clothes for Boohoo in Sheffield, workers were forced to continue going to work, social distancing rules were breached and hygiene measures were never put in place.
An investigation into working practices at the Boohoo factory was launched after 28 workers tested positive for Covid-19. It was reported in the
Daily Mail that workers shared cars on their way to work, employees went in despite feeling ill and many claimed that they felt their lives were put at risk.

Deguara’s findings were presented in a performance audit report tabled in parliament by Speaker of the House Anglu Farrugia on Monday.
The report finds that inadequate waste separation at source is leading to recyclable waste being dumped in landfills. This, Deguara noted, is by far the most expensive solution from a financial and environmental standpoint.
