Pregnant working in healthcare
I am 21 weeks pregnant today, I work in a care home with dementia patients and over the last few days the residents have been diagnosed with E coli. When I was at work on Sunday, 3 of them had it and since iv been off they were testing another 10 residents. Am I safe to be going to work and working around them? Can it affect the me or the baby?
