More details
I have family members both who should be shielding during Covid-19 due to serious asthma and diabetes.
My work provided all colleagues with laptops to work from home during this. However this 3rd lockdown they are not sending us home because of printing.
I am at risk of giving my family members Covid while being in an office of half capacity when we are able to work from home, provided we can get work printed by colleagues or enter once a week. I DO NOT want bring this home to them.
