If he falls under the high risk category then the gov advice is isolation for 12 weeks for the entire household.My husband has a health condition that places him in the vulnerable category but can't work from home.
He is not going out at all except driving to and from work.
I am unclear if that counts as social distancing or if he needs to be off work? His work are not understanding of the situation at all :/
I'm so sorry you're having to worry about that on top of everything else you are going through.I have leukemia. Due to start chemo next week. I should be self isolating but have hospital appointments 3 times a week. I don't drive so have to catch public transport in order to attend my appointments. Hospital say they can't provide transportation for me. I'm worried sick
Family all work so they're unable to help with lifts etc. There's nobody else I can ask so I have no choice but to go on public transportI'm so sorry you're having to worry about that on top of everything else you are going through.
Is there a local charity in your area that can potentially help you or a friend or family member?
Which is the opposite to the conference yesterday.NHS website actually says vulnerable people without symptoms should not socialise and should work from home "where possible" and if not possible wash hands when getting to work or essential appointments.
I think that's why it's so confusing ... I assume it's same for pregnant women in third trimester but not sure.
Thank you for your replyIf he falls under the high risk category then the gov advice is isolation for 12 weeks for the entire household.
It's not at all helpful but it's to keep him safe.
Ahhh sorry babe. Its such a worryI’m trying not to read too much because I have anxiety as it is. My gran has cancer, diabetes, COPD and has previously had a stroke. My brother still currently lives at home, he works in a bingo hall 4 days a week doing 12 hour shifts. What should he do? I think it’s a massive risk but I also understand he has to work.. Just to add my grans nurses have told her if he shows symptoms he has to move out until it’s clear. He has nowhere to go.
I don’t want to go out in case I catch it. If I do, my gran has no one to look after her
Which is the problem for so many people because noone is legally coveredThank you for your reply
I saw in the other thread that ACAS have said it's employers discretion whether or not to let people who .... This is what's so tricky! It's all just guidance, nothing legal
Phone your GP. Depending on where you live there should be something they can offer.I have leukemia. Due to start chemo next week.

Nothing to be offered. Have spoken with the hospital todayPhone your GP. Depending on where you live there should be something they can offer.
Nothing constructive to offer but I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all of this. Sounds so stressful.I have leukemia. Due to start chemo next week. I should be self isolating but have hospital appointments 3 times a week. I don't drive so have to catch public transport in order to attend my appointments.

You should go on the asthma UK site. They will guide you on what to do with mild asthma, I think they mentioned to start taking a preventer (brown) inhaler just in case. Carry your blue inhaler everywhere you go and also wash your hands!!Couldn’t of found this thread at a better time! I’m panicking!
if someone has mild asthma... haven’t had an attack for years should they be at school/work?
