Having COPD put's you in the higher risk band. If your place of work is not covid secure, it would not be wise for you to put yourself at risk. ππ»
It would also be wise to discuss returning to work with your GP before you do so. The virus attacks the lungs, so you are more vulnerable. So when you finally decide the time is right, check with the medics first. ππΈ
Juliette my lovely, you will find this community very friendly and supportive, its like chatting with old friends sometimes..... just take in all of the advice you are given, but only you can decide! πππΉ
I personally would stay at home longer if you can. COVID cases in CA were initially due to people in nursing home's. I admire your profession. My Dad was in one. He's deceased and passed away in one.
That's true Catgirl...And the fact I am worried about going back and feeling unsafe is probably telling me I'm not ready yet.
Thankyou
That sounds quite risky to me Julietteann. There will always be individual cases which don't fit the general rule, and I'd say yours is one of them. It's really difficult because as things stand we don't really know what 'safe' is, and it could be quite some time before a return to work is possible for you. There could be all sorts of implications around pay and benefits, so I'd say to work closely with your employer on the topic of a safe return.
