Are your work keeping you up dated with coronovirus?

[EnidBlyton]

I hear nothing from my community care work and am concerned

Yes, local authority here

We had an email yesterday, if you suspect that you might have it- self isolate for 2 weeks. Sick leave policy will apply as normal and disciplinary action will be taken as normal- even though it's their own bloody policy that's telling people to stay off! A government department so what else can be said.

Am tempted to email the question.

Email what question?

Indeed

Yes, loads - local authority, education/schools

Eh?! 😆

@Nicknacky I think, from seeing previous posts, we may work for the same "merged" police force. If so I stand corrected and there's something on the intranet that I've not read because I don't have time to pee let alone read the intranet

Daily updates from DoH and NHSE

chester I think you might be right and we do work for the same employer. I think I saw the word “corona” as I went into the intranet to do something else but don’t quote me, I was busy😂

One email last week. I work for the NHS.

I work for a pharma company - they’ve said they won’t be providing masks as they don’t work.

email their policy on keeping safe, sick leave, etc., whether or not they would provide masks?

i should think my company are keeping their head down tbh, no way would they be able to accommodate staff quarantining

Do any of the staff need to quarantine? I think people need to calm down.

What are you bringing here @Nicknacky ?

Meaning what? If you are looking for hysteria then you won’t get it from me. I work with the public, I’m physically close to them and in and out their houses.

But let’s be realistic. Life is carrying on as normal in the real world.

If you become ill and need sick leave then worry about it then. If you want to wear a mask then buy one and wear one.

are your work keeping you up to date was my question,

Oh so you just want a yes or no answer. My mistake.

Nope.
It's a small company, all travel there in our own cars, only delivery drivers visiting us.
I don't think the UK has got many cases yet, so no need to panic.

Just read the public health England info on there government website. Why do you need your employer to tell you that?

I'm on 2 calls a day through work due to my role in emergency planning, but as it's constantly changing employers are better off asking staff to look on the official channels that will be updated. If you are really concerned then the advice is call 111.

Yes all international travel banned unless business critical, and we’ve sent a couple of people home who’ve been to northern Italy. Not bothering with masks, just reminding about hand washing.
