On Architecture, a practice with studios in London and Kent, had told staff to continue working in its offices and open the windows, despite the prime minister instructing people to work from home unless it is “unreasonable” to do so. This is widely understood to apply only to key workers and those with jobs in manufacturing or on construction sites.
