Many are scared of catching the deadly virus and taking it back to their families but fear losing their jobs if they don’t show up to work 😔
An estate agent, who wishes to remain anonymous, said their employer Dexters – which operates 70 offices across London – asked staff to come to work today despite the prime minister’s announcement last night.
Metro.co.uk has seen internal emails sent to staff from Dexters CEO Jeff Doble, including one which tells staff ‘while staying at home is the general advice, we join a significant number of the working population who are providing important services’. Distancing measures are in place in Dexters offices and around a third of all shops will close tonight, while viewings are no longer being conducted, Mr Doble said.
A warehouse worker in Southampton told Metro.co.uk he is worried about bringing the virus home to his pregnant wife. He said: ‘In terms of information we are getting none.‘We are more a danger of spreading the virus, instead of helping the situation.’
