Ask HN: Help. Covid case at work; remote work is being denied. EU region.

I'm working at a place where, according to a very credible and personally-detailed report, has had a known positive Covid-19 case. It was later denied. It seems pretty clear what's going on.

I'm now seeing my teammates become sick, and still it has been decided that we must not work from home, despite that being possible.

It's hard to understand why critical human resources are being put at risk.

It's hard to understand why I'm putting up with this.

It's hard to understand why I feel like I'm cannot share more details about the situation.

I really feel like I need to talk with someone about it.

Anyone else?

Thank you.

But also keep in mind that unless you hear a real confirmation, the case you know may actually be a third-party rumor, so... don't panic yet.

Your workplace should be quarantined and sanitized, this is a major risk to public health. Best of luck.

edit: Turning this approach 180 degrees, have the employees ask the people with power to change the policy what do they think the legal liability is in the case any of the employees or any of their family members dies?
