CDC recommendations for those of us in the "high risk" group for the Corona virus
#7
If you work in retail in a high volume setting, like I do, I really don’t see anyway to even try to avoid exposure and continue to go in. I am fighting a horrible head cold that I no doubt picked up at work last week. I stayed home Monday went in yesterday, mistake, and now am home today and I am off tomorrow. I hope I feel better by Friday, but I still risk reinfection with every germ that comes in the store. There is no way to disinfect each thing I touch that who knows how many other sickies have touched, but what should they do, close all stores for two weeks? Should everyone who is in a higher risk or who lives with a higher risk person go on a LOA?
I can take the hit from lost wages, although I do have some sick and vacation time, but I mainly work to get decent health insurance, so I need that, especially right now.
I truly wonder what our corporate office will send out as the policy.
I saw where Walmart had relaxed their attendance policy and granted extended sick leave if you need to quarantine
I wonder if other retailers will follow suit.
