At beginning I was told to stay away from the infection and not carry that work out. Which was easier at beginning less so as the infection grew. Despite this was still having to refuse these jobs from supervisors. There was no specific individual risk assessment, was just told I would be...

Occupation should be taken into the equation. I have exactly the same conditions. Work for nhs cleaning infections. I was placed on a+e despite being classed vulnerable. Ended up going off sick with anxiety and got a note off doctor for 12 weeks but this is not same as the letter so dont know...

I have same type 2 and high blood pressure work in hospital, cleaning infected rooms. At first I got amended duties but then that changed as it was a harder/impossible to distance from the infection and b I was placed on the worst area I my opinions non covid area, which had suspected covid...

Dont think you can furlough if you're a key worker. I'm on similar boat. Diabetic and hypertension but fall into no mans land/vulnerable group. I work for NHS,my job was cleaning the infected rooms. I was told not to do the covid infections, but if you're on a ward or a+e you have no idea if...

How can I social distance when working in a hospital. My job Is to clean infected rooms I have managed to get away from doing the corona 1s but this causing stress. If they put u on a ward as normal domestic these patients are still there. And I cant go near them again causing arguments n...

I'm type 2 and work at the hospital cleaning been told to not go near these rooms with covid or suspected but should I be self isolating at home for either 7 day or 12 weeks

I got type 2 and high blood pressure (tablets taken for both) government need to put it in black n white. Not say be stringent what's that

I work at a hospital, and I am on the frontline as deep clean/rapid response so I have to face suspected covid 19. And also patients are on wards with suspected covid 19. Should I be staying at home as a type 2 diabetic(mostly under control but with hypertension). Panicking and my managers...
