Hi there everyone.
I am aware there is news coming anytime for people with underlying conditions and further adduce with the coronavirus. However, I am finding it so difficult to work out what's right to do for myself and for others safety!
I'm a type one diabetic, working in a chemo day unit in a hospital! My role is to greet patients, check observations, provide food and drinks, restock etc. So predominantly is close contact with the patients, who themselves are immuno compromised!
I phoned my diabetes team & GP, they said it is for me to self assess, to speak with my manager. My manager I think is quite worried about too many staff having to go off.. quite a stressful time, she's told me that we are lower risk than the wards..
Should I be going to work? I'm trying to be as careful as I can washing hands, wearing gloves , the usual! But you can't avoid being so close to people.
Thank you in advance !
