I'm a nurse and I've worked throughout the pandemic. I haven't taken any time off, I haven't seen friends or family because bi followed the self isolating rules and thankfully I didn't fall ill.
I agreed to take the antibody test - which came back positive. I was surprised because well I haven't had any symptoms and I thought I'd used all the appropriate PPE.
I tried to book an appointment online with my hairdresser's for week beginning 4th July. They asked me to complete a questionnaire about covid-19.
I disclosed that I have tested positive for covid-19 via the antibody test. And that I occasionally come into contact with patients with covid-19.
They sent me an email advising that I'm not allowed to come into the salon, because of what I've disclosed. They are following government guidelines and they need to minimise the risk of spreading infection to their other clients and members of staff.
They won't share the government guidelines that state that anybody testing positive to covid-19 isn't allowed to enter their salon. I suspect it doesn't say this because then technically I won't be able to enter any retail premises either.
I've managed to find someone else so I'm ok. But I'm annoyed, has anybody else had a similar experience?
