Corvid19 and work

[berylc]

I work as a kitchen assistant in a care home for the elderly. The home has not restricted access into the home, so visitors come into the building daily. My concern is that I have to go into bedrooms and serve drinks to residents and family members. I'm worried that I may put myself at risk of the virus. I will not visit family or friends, or let any visit our house. I want to keep on going to work, so I thought about saying I can't do the tea trolley. Am I being over cautious do you think? I'm not going to shops either.

Wear a face mask and gloves if and when you deliver the cuppa...

MASK? We don't have any masks! Only gloves, which I do wear.

I purchased two boxes of P2 masks when the bushfires were raging around here in Bundaberg late last year, I only used a couple of masks in the smoke.

Hi @berylc ,

How about a compromise.. Knock on the residents door if they have visitors.
Stand well back as the visitor serves.
Grab the truck when at a safe distance..?
