Coronavirus cases could soar if workplaces are not made Covid secure, union leaders have warned.

As pubs, bars, restaurants and non-essential shops prepare to open again on 12 April, the TUC said vaccinations should not be used as an excuse to relax safe working rules.

Some 11,000 working-age people have died during the pandemic, the union organisation said.
