    It’s okay @Past User and @Aidan

    I hope this thread can provide some comfort - for me I work with elderly residents so my worry is passing it onto them rather than getting it myself so I find it helpful to find myself that as long as I follow my Workplaced , NHs and PHE guidance then I’m doing all I can to prevent that

    I work with people who are in care, some of them need around the clock support. I know they will be fine if I have to leave work (I just run workshops and teach life-skills) but I'm worried about them and the support workers who will have to be isolated with them if it comes to that.

    There haven't been any cases in the town I live in yet, but waiting for it to come here... I don't like that feeling.

    Thank you @Millie2787 this is really important!

    I would just really emphasise to make sure that you only read from reputable sources - mainly the NHS or gov websites. There's a lot of scaremongering and inaccurate information being thrown around especially on social media. 

    Stay safe <3

    Concerts and mass gatherings may be close to being cancelled but let’s remember all of these things we still have :)
