Essential key workers with heart disease.

[Dragon1973]

If my work has identfied me as an essential worker, what are my options with Heart disease BV and aortic aneurysm?

I work with young adults with special needs and the government has identified these learners as vulnerable. Is there any way I can protect myself?

Up until yesterday work was asking for volunteers, now it seems to be a bit ore compulsory.

I am also a key worker and although predominately I am working from home I still have to conduct visits to homes and schools, police stations etc. Unfortunately, there’s massive social implications for keeping children and parents at home 24/7.... therefore, the only precautions I can take are social distancing and hand washing. I did where a mask 😷 in a school yesterday and felt a right pillock.

Hi, Dragon1973 , how do it all work out? Hope you have stayed clear of covid.

If you've got BV and an aortic aneurysm, what care and monitoring are you getting?
