Should I go to work?

[Scott M]

I know this question has been asked a thousand times already;
There was 2 reported cases of Covid-19 from staff at the store I work out, both sent home yesterday from work, now in isolation.

Everyone that works there is telling me to stay away, apart from the managers who are demanding me to go in as normal.
With the virus able to last roughly 3 days or so on hard surfaces and where its a retail store dealing with high traffic (BP Garage)

I'm at a loss on what I should do.

I'm type one, having a lot of lows and recently lost my hypo awareness, often dropping down into the 2 range.

Just wondering on what you all think I should do.

The official advice for people in your situation is to be more scrupulously careful about ‘social distancing’ and to work from home where possible (employers are expected to support anyone for whole this is a possibility). However I’m not sure working from home is an option for you.

People with T1 are not yet recommended to fully isolate, but to be extra careful with hand washing etc. The vast majority of us woikd only have a mild illness, even if we did catch it.

Hope that helps?
