Update, thank you all for your advice, I will be walking my dog again and as far as work is concerned, they will see me when its over.

Take care x

Covid-19 not sure now which tick box i fall into ??

Im 49, Heart Disease, Microvascular Angina and Type 2 Diabetes.

I did fall into a category then it was changed to High Risk.

Im not going to food shops or chemist for my many drugs, but....

1. With social distancing can I walk my dog ?

2.Where on a website will it confirm what I should do so I have evidence for my work.

Many thanks

Here's the NHS advice , if you look at social distancing, the section headed, Looking after your mental wellbeing covers going out walking.

Work is a difficult one, but basically you should keep 2 metres between you and your co-workers.

Hi

I am 61 and in a similar position with type 2 and an AVR and double by-pass

Going for meds is a must for me

Walking for an hour is also a must BUT keep my distance

Am working from home

If I couldn't do that then I would be self isolating for 12 wks as per Gov instructions

I would speak to your employer about work

Hope this helps

Stay safe and well

HI Like your other replies I should walk the dog keeping social distancing, if you need to shop also strict social distancing and hand washing. Can you work from home? If not I would talk to my manager as if it were me I would not want to be going into work.I really wish you well and to take care. It is so good that we can get together on this forum.

Not what you're looking for?
