As the coronavirus cases are declining, chances are that you may be called by your office to resume work from the office and you have no good reason to stay back home and ask for work from home as the majority of employees are willing to take on work from their offices. If you are still unsure of being safe from the coronavirus disease by working in an office environment, you can ask for more time from your office to work from home and in that duration, get both doses of coronavirus vaccine.
However, if your office manager is encouraging you to leave your worries aside as they would be disinfecting your workplace on a regular basis to ensure you can carry out your office work in a smoother manner, then you need to build up that courage to take that local train and report to your office if you don’t have the option of rental car or bus travel to reach to your workplace due to its long-distance and also the cost involved in it.
Getting anxious even if your co-passenger in train is coughing or sneezing or lowering his or her mask to get drink water or eat something or speak to someone is quite natural. Remember you have stayed in the four walls of your house for a longer period and all you were exposed to is news on the internet or television channels that showed how people are helpless and suffering due to the infection of coronavirus disease. Whenever such thoughts come to your mind that makes you feel you are unsafe because social distancing norms are flouted, you distance yourself from such crowds, wear double masks, avoid physical contact with other co-passengers in trains and skip the trains that have too many passengers. Make sure to keep your hands sanitized and also disinfect the place you sit. You can wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap water once you reach the office and also make sure to keep a distance from others in meeting rooms and even while you are having your lunch.
