    I am at home permanently, although not always working.

    I’ve been banned from going in to work but doing some stuff remotely.
    Inbetween keeping kids entertained, being entertained by my fish, and planning the new tank... not very productive at all

    Hectic, we are trying to send as much staff home as possible and to work remotely. Wheels have to keep turning.

    I have a wedding on Friday. Apparently they have reduced the number of guests from 100 to 50 because of the restrictions. Imagine telling 50 guests they can't come now...

    Not a peep from the client i'm at. Everyone's been given alcohol based hand sanitiser and an enzyme based disinfectant spray though. I'm on leave next week, so i suspect the news will probably come through then

    I am at home.
    Only because my kids school has been closed and my Mrs cannot take time off her work to be with them.

    I really need to be in the office, so aside from answering a few emails, there is not much else I can do.
    Forced leave.

    I'm still at work. PE hasn't been hit as yet and I work for Aspen in the labs so I doubt they will be sending staff essential to the manufacture and release of medicine home during this time

    I've got the option to work from home, but I need to be able to print and sign documents (and get clients to sign), so without a printer at home it's not going to happen.

    Forced to work from home yesterday. Today was my first day. Not sick at all, but to keep the cogs turning and thinning out the people at the office.

    I am also permanently at home at moment but both my sons are still working
    One mainly in an office environment and they are taking all the necessary precautions however Cesar's work is on the field from site to site most of the day and also still out there which is a bit worrying
    I do believe all sites he has been to in the last two days are spraying you before you go in annd out and they have been given gloves and sanitizers but.. still worries me..

    I guess for some, the wheels have to keep turning
    I see Gauteng has the highest number of cases so far and is probably going to be the worst hit area due to population stats, lets hope that the early measures being taken will spare us the disaster that's going on in other Countries

    My son is manager at a large Dischem, and he says they are feeling the strain at the moment.
    Even though he is not a pharmacist, people expect anyone on the floor to know all the answers.
    That, together with the fact that people are streaming to pharmacies and panic buying food and TP, while coughing, sneezing and wheezing around all the aisles.
    He is getting married in a months' time, and I really wish they could stay home and minimise the risk of infection.

    I work in industrial cleaning so you can probably guess I am still working... But considering the fact we disinfect and clean for a living I am not too worried at all. Today is a work from home day in the sense it time to get some marketing work done...

    I volunteer at a zoo, and everyone is working through be ause the animals can't feed themselves or clean up after themselves. So we've been extra careful with being very hygienic, especially on primates section seeing as they're just as susceptible as we are to the virus..

    Then you’ll have time for the new tank you started a thread on a while back! Is it still in the pipeline? And how’s your back?
    (Hope I didn’t get forum names mixed up :lol:)
