Offices should remain closed
For those office workers who can (and most have been) work from home, this should remain a requirement. Offices should remain shut for as long as needed. They are not a necessity for most companies as teams are working remotely just as efficiently. Offices are a hotbed for spreading colds and other illnesses and can not be adequately segregated to stop the spread.
Why the contribution is important
Offices will be a key component in stopping further spread of this virus. This can be a simple guideline to effect as most people are just as productive remotely and this will cause little impact to businesses as workers are already set up to work from home in most cases.

If you're able to work from home then you should continue to do.
It's one of the simplest methods of keeping R down and we should look to continue this for as long as is possible.
With modern technology afforded to office workers, especially with recent innovations in collaborative apps like Zoom/Slack/MS Teams, it is very difficult to justify that offices should open when it's very easy to work from home.

However for the majority there is no ‘need’ to be back in an office and homeworking should be recommended / mandated unless you fall into the first category of having a need to be in office environment.
