Isolate medical and care home workers

Confine medical and care home workers working with COVID-19 patients to their hospital or care home. Enforce a 14 day quarantine period before returning to the community.

Why the contribution is important

These workers are in the highest risk environment and like their patients should not be allowed to mix in the general community. Despite the use of PPE they pose a risk to their own families, and to the general public with whom they mix on public transport, in shops and other public venues.

    Seems like a good idea but an enormous ask for the workers. They would have to agree on a purely voluntary basis. Could care home workers have temperature checks 2/3 times a day?

    Why should they be made to suffer, I think you will find that few groups are more careful about infection spread than workers on the front line.
