Im waiting til next lockdown review and then think about going back. I did let people know via my f b page that I was closed during lockdown, sent texts and emails to others, and posted a message in a village monthy newsletter to say the same.

Hi Jay, this may help - it's guidance from an NHS trust for their staff on how to return home safely. Not every bit applies, of course. Faffy but sensible.

The guidance from the NHS and in particular the: Shower and change out of work clothes SHOULD be mandatory for all Hospital staff working with covid 19 patients.
Sadly it isn't, and I reckon if the public knew the true figure of staff who actually DO bother to practice this we would be very disappointed.

I can’t believe people still haven’t gone back to work window cleaning.

It's true; believe it.
You might not understand peoples' reasons for working though.

So itll be 7 weeks without working or cleaning a window for some of you lads by the time the next review on thursday 7th may(friday is a bank holiday VE day)so you wont be starting back until monday 11th may?.......

I've never had 7 weeks off in 27 years of window cleaning! ;D....the longest I've had off was 3 and a half weeks when I tore an ankle ligament playing football.....

I think some of those with kids and/or marriages/relationships under the same roof have a different scenario to consider.

I’m lucky in that sense in that I don’t have that to worry about, but it also means there is only one wage coming in to the house and not two.

With kids I guess the responsibility is on a different level and fair to the guys who’re putting that first. Seriously, I’m glad I don’t have to but for those of you that have, respect.

The risk of Coronavirus to children is very low. With kids I’d say it’s more important to feed them and provide the right trainers.

I think that’s what Slacky is saying.
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

The schools are closed though and if they are open to children they are not educating them. They have work to do but they are only supervised.
I know the risk is low but it is also impossible to get children to stay socially distant.
