Self isolating if you have 2 jobs

burtons

If you have two jobs but in different places what happens if someone from one jobs gets covid so your're told to self isolate but you go to the other job as you know you will not get sick pay.

It means you're not self-isolating.

If you are told to self-isolate you should not go anywhere. Stay inside your home for 14 days, unless you develop covid symptoms and go for a test.

Well this is it isn’t it and where the flaw is in the system for those who can’t afford it.

But morally if you are contacted to self isolate & have potentially been around someone with the virus - going to the other job and potentially infecting everyone there isn’t helping everyone else is it?

As little as possible. 

Stay indoors, cut costs, use your savings.

This is not about me but someone my missus knows but if it was me my rent still has to be paid and I don't have savings.

They can claim statutory sick pay if they have to self-isolate

Sure the company would love that? Could cause more trouble down the line especially if they find out he was meant to be isolating, didn’t and and then risked/caused an outbreak. Don’t think you would have too many sympathetic bosses in that situation .

What would they do if they broke a leg ?  
Whatever the answer the same applies.

You don’t go, because ultimately not infecting lots of people and potentially killing some of them is more important than your rent.
