High risk category but under 70

DH staying away from most places but still going to work . He’s in the high risk category as he has severe asthma . We’re worried but he thinks work won’t agree to him being off without symptoms.
What should he be doing ?

My work are sending people home with certain health issues. People with asthma are basically being told tough shit , too many people have it.

I also think this is happening too judging by some social media posts I've seen Sad

Yes seems work want him to continue regardless . We’ve read that the nhs are contacting high risk people on Monday and advising them .

My so has asthma too but not high risk as not been in hosp or on steroids. He’s working from home but me and Dh aren’t so I’m worried about germs coming home

Son it should say... he’s 17

Is he on oral steroid as that may be higher risk and he could get his GP to confirm he needs to be off.
