Stressed about going to work

Because of the nature of my job I am not able to work from home. I live with my husband and 2 kids, as well as my 90 year old mother and I am worried about spreading any germs to them. Does anyone have advice on how to keep safe while still going to work? This has been so stressful and makes it hard to even concentrate on my job.

Hi Dreamer 85, thank you for sharing your valid concerns with us here today. It may be stressful to not be able to fully concentrate at work because you are concerned for your family’s health and safety. Along with practicing good hygiene and social distancing, here are some additional tips on how to keep safe at your workplace: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/getting-workplace-ready-for-covid-19.pdf. It can also be helpful to have a conversation with your manager/coworkers so that everyone can work together to keep your work environment safe. Hope this helps and thanks again for your post!
