Coronavirus originated from China and is spreading at an alarming rate. The Media are highlighting the need to be aware of this new Coronavirus (COVID - 19) and to take precaution. This can create fear and you may wonder, how will the Coronavirus affect my window cleaning business? Do we need to worry? What can we do to prepare now for this pandemic? This article will focus on how the Coronavirus will affect window cleaners but the points apply to the self employed.

Follow the advice and guidance from the government! This is vital in protecting the NHS and keeping our loved ones safe and ourselves.
