It looks like my husband will be going back to work soon. He works for the government and on Friday, the president announced that government workers are supposed to go back to work this week. To top it off, they are calling his agency essential.

I am worried because he deals with the public and his office is in an area with a high number of cases - enough for that a municipal quarantine was declared.

I have seen footage of what happens when offices like notaries that have been closed for a while open back up. It was chaos. No one was respecting distances, only some had masks.


Add that to the fact that the government has not developed a clear plan to protect workers. Some of the employee associations are opposing it. Workers at the district attorney offices have requested an injunction to avoid having to go to work unless more is done to protect their safety.

I hope he at least can avoid it while the quarantine is in effect.
