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.

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

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