Hiya, hope you can help me with my question/dilemma.
I understand that the Coronavirus is still so new and that pregnant women supposedly only fall under the vulnerable group as a precaution - but I still feel that the information we are being given is too vague, especially for working pregnant woman.
I work full-time in retail banking in a customer facing role. I’m currently on pre-booked 4 weeks of annual leave (lots of holiday owing due to previous sickness) so haven’t seen or contacted my management regarding the recent social distancing advice. I keep reading this “12 weeks of social distancing” and don’t know if would apply for jobs too? (sorry if that’s a stupid question). It’s impossible for me to work from home in my job role which involves 90% dealing with customers face-to-face.
But I’m still terrified to return to work due to the need of close proximity of dealing with customers. It look a long time TTC so I’m naturally very anxious as it is and the ongoing global issue has worsened it for me.
What should I do? I don’t want to approach work regarding this without knowing my rights towards this.
Can anyone help me please?
