Pregnant working in covid outbreak home.

I'm a nurse associate working in a nursing home, we have now got an outbreak of covid. I'm in the first trimester. Work have said I can choose to work without pay, but nothing else has been offered.
I can't find any specific government guidance to find out what my rights are. Does anybody have a link to specific guidance I can look at?

You need to talk to occupational health but I think the increased risk is mainly after 28 weeks

Hopefully you have had both doses of vaccine which will mitigate the risk somewhat.

You could look at the IPC guidance which does mention pregnant women (suggests a risk assessment if providing direct care) here the supporting documents can be found here
