RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
Also worth noting furlough has to be for a minimum of 3 weeks for the government to provide support, so employers are likely to ensure everyone has done a minimum of 3 weeks before recalling them.

Another thing to consider is the NHS is going to start offering in person appointments again for outpatients, with the idea that they get a COVID-19 test around 3 days before their appointment. For those not displaying symptoms they'll probably be asked to attend a drive-through or walk-in testing centre, so for those without cars that's potentially two return bus journeys. So even though hospital visits will be ruled out, it's likely buses serving hospitals will see enhanced usage again.
