Am I obliged to go to work if there's an outbreak of Covid-19?

[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2357119, member: 520947"] I think even the best care homes are in an impossible position. As you say the idea of a bubble is impossible unless as some homes did last year and staff move in! It is an issue with residents not complying with covid precautions. The only solution seems to be to be to keep each floor as a strictly separate area with no movement between floors of staff etc. It wont stop outbreaks but may contain them. Of course that depends on size of care home and staffing levels.! Care workers often get a bad press,and a lot less sympathy than frontline NHS workers. Their job is just as demanding but without fringe benefits of sick pay,decent pensions etc. The dedication of those in private sector can be humbling,they certainly dont do it for the pay! Let's hope the vaccination at least eases the pressure. [/QUOTE]
