Allow workers at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19 to stay home
Workers with higher risk of serious illness from CODVID-19 should be allowed to stay home or, at least, be differentiated from their colleagues.
Some people are at much higher risk of serious illness and mortality from COVID-19 than others.
Although senior citizens are the most affected group, many young people and adults are also at great risk. However, if one is part of the workforce they aren’t able to protect themselves properly nor can distance themselves from others because of their role in society.
People at greater risk:
-Elderly
-Heart diseases
-Diabetes
-Lung diseases
