    Hi Kupcake

    Welcome to the Arthritis community. Going back to work, we will be advised by our Government when to go back and how we are going to cope with social distancing in the place of work,when that occurs it's really when you feel up to going back to work and if you are worried maybe you can talk to some one about your worry. We have a help line with people you can speak to if you want it is 0800 5200520.

    Talking to others on the forum is good too, the most popular forums are Living with Arthritis and Chit Chat

    All the best Christine

    Need more help? - call our Helpline on 0800 5200 520 Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm

    Am I correct in assuming that the Government will be publishing guidance at the end of this month on the question of employers/employees and how much longer clinically vulnerable people need to shield for? I have just heard from my employer that my furlough period has been extended to the end of July when they will then review the position bearing in mind I am "high risk" due to my RA and taking Methotrexate. In the meantime stay safe everyone. K.
