As a person with diabetes you are seen to be ‘at increased risk’ if you develop a severe case of Covid-19, though you are not classed as ‘clinically extremely vulnerable’.

Diabetes UK have updated this page with information about what you can expect from your employer, and how they should support you in working safely if you cannot work from home

Work and diabetes

This information is about how to manage diabetes at work and to support you in knowing your rights at work. Jump to:

www.diabetes.org.uk

There is guidance from the UK Government here:

Reducing the spread of respiratory infections, including COVID-19, in the workplace

Public health principles for reducing the spread of respiratory infections, including COVID-19, in the workplace.
