[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2244245, member: 451727"] There are many of us with diabetes who are in very different sets of circumstances BUT if you have had the 'letter' (as coveted as the chocolate bar ticket out of Charlie & the chocolate factory) then I think you should stay at home. No matter what your Employers think about YOUR medical history, they are not the experts and the actual experts have said you are at risk and you should self isolate. To me there is no room for negotiation once you have been instructed to do this, it is not a game and without dramatising it all, are you really prepared to put your life at risk? Without such a letter there may well be room for negotiation and personal risk assessment by your employers but to answer your question, I say stay at home. (I cannot imagine any employer would get away with sacking you in these circumstances without a hefty penalty). Also [USER=521948]@andrewjones080385#[/USER], get your Manager/HR to put everything they are telling you in writing, it is much harder for them to go completely against medical advice when they are having to write down WHY they are ignoring it. x [/QUOTE]
