As set out in the section on staying at home, you can travel for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home.
With the exception of the organisations covered above in the section on closing certain businesses and venues, the government has not required any other businesses to close – indeed it is important for business to carry on.
Employers and employees should discuss their working arrangements, and employers should take every possible step to facilitate their employees working from home, including providing suitable IT and equipment to enable remote working.
Sometimes this will not be possible, as not everyone can work from home. Certain jobs require people to travel to, from and for their work – for instance if they operate machinery, work in construction or manufacturing, or are delivering front line services.
If you cannot work from home then you can still travel for work purposes, provided you are not showing coronavirus symptoms and neither you nor any of your household are self-isolating. This is consistent with advice from the Chief Medical Officer.
So it looks like it almost any goods could be moved.

Yes. The CMO gives advice, aa do all the other advisors, and that is interpreted by the politicians.
.
Closing more business may mean a poorer country and poorer health facilities next year, so more overall deaths?
.
Or close everything now to protect as many as possible now.
.
It is a moral/logical/ethical choice made on vague evidence…
A political choice…
.

Would you push the fat man off the bridge?

As I say morally right or wrong, I don’t know.
Keep working, down to the employers to say yes. or no? can workers afford to say no?
I only posted, after reading the various threads here on TN, that some people seem to think unless trucks are carrying bog rolls, baked beans, or ventilators, they shouldn’t be out, we don’t want a virtual lynch mob looking for the drivers
This week mostly tiles/collecting scrap metal/Nike trainers and heaven forbid a load of tomatoes.
Doesn’t really matter what we carrying just doing stuff for now makes a difference. Even if it’s just a lot of trucks carrying non essential stuff it shows we out and about.
Course if you want to stay at home just fake cough down the phone at your gaffer, maybe someone can give you a white feather.

Well I can tell you right now, wholeheartedly that my day sat in the canteen tomorrow as spare driver is absolutely, essential frontline work.
Company I work for are a [zb] joke, smooth as peaches during the good times but couldn’t run a bath during the bad.

What some of you are not realising is that the government does not want industry and manufacturing to close down. It doesn’t matter what you all think is or is not essential, goods need moving to keep the economy ticking over
Its no good Jake you keep banging the drum to stay at home… its not what the leaders want.

Nobody stopping you from self isolating.
Just stay at home…
And get paid a grand sum of …£94 ssp.
No I would be paid £0.
Sick with Corona or anything else £94 SSP
Self isolating for whatever reason £0
But . But… Boris said everybody needs to stay inside, and that we will all be paid 80% of our wages…
So you are travelling around, spreading this killer disease, because of money?
those who follow advice to stay at home will be eligible for statutory sick pay (SSP) from the first day of their absence from work
Be good to see a breakdown of how many of those who are shouting that we must all stay at home, are retired… And how many of those who are (were) working, actually do as they preach, and took SSP when self isolating.
