If you are still going out to work what do you do?

I'm just nosey and wonder which industries are classed as key workers other than the NHS Police Fire Brigade and Shop Staff.

I know of 3 in my family.

Armed Forces
Social Worker
Dog Unit Support

Rest of the family are working from home but aren't key workers so can't actually go out to work.

Interpreter on police/NHS/court assignments (and other assignments supporting key workers). Some of our assignments are done over the phone, some still have to be face to face.

My husband has just recently been classed as a keyworker because he has sold some parts that are used in military helicopters.

Police officer

Dairy farmer

Teacher. Not in school everyday but I work from home the days I am not

DH is a construction professional (surveyor, industrial mainly). We're in Scotland and the message very much is that construction should not be happening. We know it's diff in England.

I work for an electricity company, dealing with new connections. I’m working from home as I’m vulnerable, but am classed as an essential worker. There are some people from my team still in the office

DH is construction/electrical. He had three weeks without work and has now returned. Not all sites have reopened but they have been working on hospitals etc so I suppose are essential in parts. At the moment it looks like they will now continue to work again.

Counsellor not working f-2-f its via telephone but have to be in work because of the nature of the therapy.
