Are your work keeping you up dated with coronovirus?

[EnidBlyton]

I hear nothing from my community care work and am concerned

We had an email today from HR informing us of how many people have contacted it. I have also been asked to go out and buy supplies of antibacterial spray and wipes for desks and door handles.

Over up to date to be honest but NHS so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have cut and pasted this from a now closed thread!
Got DWP guidance today so feeling very reassured (not) You are not allowed to wear masks, The likelihood of contracting Covid 19 from a colleague is very low as it requires close and extended contact, WTAF?
Staff who are sick will have sick leave applied as normal. Customers who do not attend appointments in public offices from fear of contamination will not be excused which of course means sanctioned. The caring face of our tory government. Work for DFC, so advice from the mainland is all we have had so far.

Yup. Half our company is in China tho

not a thing

Yes but also still expecting us to fly to work meetings.

Yep, but the majority of employees are in a health care setting...

i feel a bit better now i realise my work are not the only ones with their heads buried in the sand.

Yep but I work for the other side of Reuters!

We’re a charity so no responsibility for health care delivery/education/transport or anything important really. I reckon we could feasibly do without most of our staff in the office for a few weeks. Things would have to wait 🤷‍♀️

Yes, but it is NHS, large hospital, part of a very big trust. Usually an email daily.

Yup, but we're HSE

Yes. I work for a university so I suppose some of the students will have visited China since the outbreak.

I'm self employed. dhs work is sending out regular travel advice. He said that he was speaking to two colleagues on the phone who are having to work from home because they are in a high risk area.

He is traveling next week. I'll send him with a couple of masks in case they are required for traveling home by the time he gets home. It did get me wondering - what if they locked down our town like they have in Italy and he wasn't allowed home.

I think there is something on our intranet but I haven’t had the chance to read it yet.

Yes we get regularly updated info.

Hasn't been mentioned!

Some masks arrived today (one step up from decorators masks). They're meant to be for project use but disappeared under a directors desk. That's management sorted then.

We've had one email think it was around 3 weeks ago confirming no uk cases so no need for alarm just wash your hands regularly. I work for the police.

Nope. But we all work remotely so there's no need for regular updates!

Yes, daily emails. Posters everywhere, updated frequently and in Chinese and English. Am in uk but have a high proportion of Chinese students.

chester Im police too.

We had an update today - we have a lot of people who travel for business so they do need to make sure guidance is followed.

Not a thing and I work in a health care setting, great.

@managedmis how long is hse taking to process samples?

Yes we are getting work comms and guidance on travel etc
