AO are following government and NHS advice for drivers. They will call the person receiving the item before a delivery, to make sure the planned delivery can go ahead. If the person or a member of their household has any of the symptoms of COVID-19 and are self-isolating, AO will deliver the item to their doorstep. When the driver arrives, they will knock on their door and wait at least two metres away from the door. If the household is not self-isolating, AO will ask them to wait in another room while they deliver to the main entrance of the home. The driver will ask to wash their hands when arriving and leaving the home. They will not ask any member of the household to sign any delivery paperwork.
Please advise the person you are supporting of these protocols.
