Hmmmm.
I'm a little concerned about work at the moment.
On Friday we are having an expected lorry coming in from Italy delivering goods.
As I'm responsible for checking off the goods I've been told by my boss that i must wear a mask, gloves and practice good hand washing hygiene whilst dealing with the delivery and driver. Ive also been told to keep the driver away from mingling with staff.
Oh course this is all precautionary and highly unlikely there is a risk but its still making me feel wary about it all. One of the staff members has already told me he's staying well away.
I really don't know what to do for the best. Am i over reacting?

Lots of City firms are starting mandatory WFH from Monday. May have to re-ignite my cycling to work - those London roads will be deserted!! And if I have to WFH, then my cycle to work may have to take in a few lanes in a strangely circular route!

Hehe. I'm already planning my "cycle to work from home routes". I think I might do my return journey at lunch time rather than in the evening.

Limiting contact to only essential staff is a good idea if the driver is from Italy. If you need to have contact, make sure you maintain a sensible distance and wash your hands immediately after checking off the goods. While you're checking off the goods, try to avoid touching your face. That should be feasible as you're wearing a mask and gloves anyway
As I mentioned elsewhere, overreaction is better than underreaction atm
