I'm after some advice.
My 17 year old step sister was offered an apprenticeship in a care home before all this kicked off. She does social care at college and has been doing a placement at this care home so they knew she was a hard worker.
Anyway, obviously they have been closed to visitors so they arranged they would contact her when they could.
Yesterday she received a call and they would like her to begin her apprenticeship this Thursday.
Obviously we are concerned she will be in a high risk area and bring something home or take something in with her!
At the moment the care home haven't had any cases of coronavirus but surely this is just a matter of time??
The care home reassured her they take the temperature of everyone upon arrival and are using ppe.
They said they understand her concerns but they need someone so I guess there is the chance they will have to find someone else and she could then miss out on this opportunity. But is now really the right time??
What do you all think? Should she start or not?
