[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2357049, member: 520947"] I hope it goes well with unison. They were very thorough when I dealt with them last year,however I felt their hands were tied. You are indeed high risk. The general advice seems to be we are no more at risk of catching it but if we do are more likely to suffer severe symptoms. No one can guarantee you wont catch covid,especially with new strain. Individually we can only look at out own situation and how each element adds to the risk and whether the risk is one you are comfortable with or one you dont want to take. My daughter works in a care home where they have had a couple of cases of covid which have been excellently managed and have not spread. Staff are tested weekly and since Christmas have a rapid test before each shift. All staff and residents are now vaccinated. The care home I worked for was a very different story. I knew I wouldnt be as safe there. My individual risk assessment was "do as I say and you will be ok". Last summer was a constant battle to get them to act appropriately. I was lucky I was in a position to not have to rely on being paid by them. Good luck and stay safe. [/QUOTE]
