Corona virus

Hi just another post on the corona virus but I am really worried. I have at/afl/af arterial and heart block. Rely on my pacemaker 100 percent. I work full time in a small office with people coming in and out. Should I keep going to work or stay at home and self isolate. I don't think I would get paid but surely my health comes first

Please advise x

It is really a decision only you can make after doing as much reading of reliable publications like:

And then consulting with your heart health medical care provider (GP, cardiac nurse, cardiologist).

You're right - your health comes first. I know of several people who are choosing to work from home - is that possible with your work? I do know a few who have taken unpaid leave as well.

But in the end, you have to make the decision yourself after you've read, and talked with your medical professional.
