If you have X2, Changes in the law in your contract, I would notify under that as (to quote my colleague Andrew W-I: "In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the United Kingdom Parliament enacted a Statutory Instrument; The Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020.
These Regulations came into force at 06:50 am on 10 February 2020 and provide for the imposition of restrictions and requirements, as directed or instructed by the Secretary of State, or a named role which includes a ‘registered public health consultant’, who is a registered medical official engaged by Public Health England.
The Regulations also provide details on screening requirements and the detention or isolation of persons suspected to be infected with the virus."
If you do not have this, then at at a minimum I would notify an early warning first.
The Employer (NEC3)/ Client (NEC4) may instruct the Contractor to stop or not to start any work which would be a compensation event under 60.1 (4).
Failing that, at some point, it may become a compensation event under 60.1(19) but we are not at that point yet.
