Coronavirus: Your workplace questions

Steve Bridger

At this difficult time, we'd like to offer people managers (and others) who are not CIPD Members an opportunity to ask questions about their specific workplace challenges.

We hope that collectively, the Community will feel able to chip in with guidance and signpost support and resources where these exist.

Thank you.

  • Hi, can anyone advise what to do if an employee has been ordered to wear a surgical face mask all day but they work in an office at a hospital in an admin role? They have claustrophobia and tried a mask on but panicked and could not breathe. Would she be allowed exemption for medical reasons, or be able to wear a clear visor as a compromise, or will they use it as grounds to sack her as the government has decided all staff have to wear surgical masks.
