Mandatory for anyone working falling into the at risk category, to self isolate.
As someone who has asthma, working in retail with more customers than ever coming into stores, it is very scary risking my health everyday. The government says its important for at risk groups to stay at home but is not mandatory, but as the nature of the job we dont have a choice.
The virus is spreading fast and vulnerable people are being advised to work from home, but for some that is not a possibility, therefore putting their health at risk every single day.
