I am a family support worker and I take the elderly from a nursing home out into the community for community access and a elderly individual from a shared home out into the community for community access both these sites have gone into lockdown. So I have been forced to take annual leave since Wednesday 18/3 and am meant to return to work on the 6/4 but the individual house is in lock down at this stage to the 10/4 and the nursing home is independently so unsure of when or if I will be returning to work. It’s been very stressful and unsure if I qualify for any of the payments the government has announced.
