    I work within a small finance team for a large nursing home in Leinster area. There are 6 of us in the team and we each have our own office within a building adjacent to the nursing home itself. We self isolate as much as possible but we share toilets, clockin areas and kitchens.

    Each of our roles can easily be performed remotely but our employer has categorically stated that this option will not be made available. Even if someone in our office is diagnosed with COVID 19, we will be expected to continue to work from the office as normal. Obviously the diagnosed person will be required to self isolate.

    The entire office team are livid with management. As far as we are concerned our jobs can be performed remotely, allowing us to limit the risk of passing the infection to vulnerable people within our household. On top of that we have been provided with very limited amounts of disinfectant to keep our stations and hands clean.

    Has anyone any experience of this? How can we proceed?
