[QUOTE="Silkroad77, post: 2356908, member: 488679"] Hello all, I've been trying to look this up online, I cannot seem to find an answer, or if I do, it's confusing, as it seems to indicate that I'll be ever safer than the safest person on earth:banghead: ;):wacky::rolleyes: 1) I am Type 1-and my blood sugar levels are all over the place, despite counting carbs and having the same amount every time, watching what I eat, watching my portions, and exercising 2) I work in a Care Home 3) I am South Asian background I am in my early 40's, so any 'you're highest risk' doesn't apply to me. Of course the above doesn't place my in a extremely vulnerable position, however, if there is a breakout, what are my options, considering the above three points. Will I have to still go into work? Will I have to ask for a shielding letter (my surgery are taking 6-8 weeks to write any kind of letter or note) Will I be completely and utterly safe-and even safer than everybody else, as long as I wear a mask, wash hands regularly and maintain social distancing? This is difficult as 3 service users stand right close to us, cough without covering their mouths, and touch us-despite being told multiple times, by multiple staff not to do this, and being told of the dangers and risks of Covid-19) Is there any grounds for me to want to stay at home and wait it out, and get furloughed, or is furlough only purely for if you have covid-19 and nothing else? Thanks for reading this. [/QUOTE]
