Asthma emergency services

[uhohmog]

DP is frontline police, known asthmatic.
Has been told by work he is to continue as normal despite gov advice he is in 'at risk' group and should work from home. (Granted I don't know what a police officer can do from home but not really the point).

Anyone in same/similar position?
Thoughts or advice?

I work in a shop, asthmatic and have been hospitalised before, I'm also having to go into work, and every day it's upsetting me more and more. I am not supported by work, and I feel like handing my notice in to be honest. I've been in tears every day.

Sorry just realised you were probably asking for advice from emergency service workers, I am clearly not one of those! Sorry, hopefully someone else will have some actually advice

NHS staff, still working. Will be getting redeployed soon, I'll probably get administration stuff to do but can't work from home so will need to go out.

Pregnant and asthmatic here. Still working (NHS) but now non patient-facing.

Thanks for both replies so far,

Plot thickens as I am front line medic- if he did get redeployed- I expect I am continue to work frontline despite vastly increased risk of bringing it home to at risk DP?

Me. I work in a hospital. And the isolate for 14 days if a member of your household is ill doesn’t apply. At least 2 peopleI know of in my department currently have a household member who has a cough.

Asthmatic here, and less front line as civil servant, but our senior manager is not great on this (ignoring Taoiseach's advice to all to WFH where possible - wants us all IN office when not dealing with caring duties). But I have been given a car parking space for the current time, to avoid needing to commute by train, because of having asthma. And my new immediate boss (I move office on Monday) is very open to me WFH in general as long as the work gets done (and my old and my new job are both relatively amenable to WFH as they both require figuring out solutions and drafting things).

One of my staff also has breathing issues, and she is WFH at the moment - officially because of caring duties, but she has a laptop and is very productive and we are happy to do this at a local level.

Pretty much, as long as your own immediate boss is ok with it (and most are, to be fair), and there are enough laptops to do it, we are getting around the senior manager....
