Are vulnerable teachers going back to work?

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant. The thoughts of going back to work, surrounded by hundreds of kids weekly, with no ppe, no social distancing (according to government guidelines), has me utterly terrified. Nobody knows the long term effects on a growing baby of getting coronavirus while pregnant. I have read somewhere this morning that vulnerable teachers will be expected to return to work. I am not 100% sure if reliability of the source.

So does anyone know? Am I, and others like me, expected to go back to work under the current government conditions?

(Before the teacher bashing starts I would be happy to return if PPE or some form of protection was provided but the likelihood is it wont be, according to government sources)

well i am not a teacher but a Teaching Assistant with underlying health issues and being told go back to work.However,I feel uncomfortable going in?.However, I waiting for the government descision.

what I have so far research which is I am entititled to work from Home and NO ONE can force me to.I have evidence from my Gp that I am at high risk of catching covid19 ( not shielding). at this current moment employment contracts do not meet standards of this covid19 pandemic which no one knew would happen.So if employers say dismiss you they cannot as they would be reprecussion from them especially if you are in a union.Correct me if I am Wrong
