Self isolating but dh working?

[Forgetcourgettes]

So I work in a school and have an autoimmune disease which I take fairly hardcore meds for. I'm self isolating and can't teach, even the kids that we a anticipate coming in on Monday.

DH works in the same school but not as a teacher. I keep wondering why I am self isolating if he is going to-be at work but what can he do?

He has to work or he won't get paid

In my school you have to social distance or self isolate depending on which category you fall into if you have a partner/children like yourself.

What does your partner do?

hope you're ok by the way.

I’m in the same boat. I’m self isolating but DH is still going to work. If he catches CV and brings it home to me it’ll kill me. He refuses to call in sick because we aren’t ill, even though he could easily lie and say I have a cough so he could stay at home, by which time his employer will probably have moved to WFH anyway. Honestly it’s going to lead to our divorce because he isn’t prioritising my health and safety.

Thanks for the replies

He the building supervisor or caretaker

My OH works frontline NHS- We expect he’ll be seconded soon. I’m immunocompromised, one of my lungs has reduced capacity and both my kids are also asthmatic. We don’t have spare rooms or another toilet. If he gets sick we all get it. It’s a scary scary time. Ive read so many stories like ours. Nothing helpful to add but sharing the love

Have you looked at the guidance? Basically at home you isolate as best you can from each other. Different bed rooms, sit in different rooms. Easier said than done. Friend is in a 1 bed flat with baby, she and baby are using whole flat when other half at works he comes in and she and baby go to bed room, they share a bathroom but they both clean it before and after use, it's hard work and I am glad I have more space.

Kat do you have a link please?
