I apologize to everyone in advance for asking this question and for not knowing what might seem to be an obvious answer. I’ve been working long hours and have not seen the news in a few days. I check Bernews for updates and clicked on the link on this story for the schedule but nothing happened.
Who is deemed an essential worker? I know that might seem obvious to some but Im asking because I have had exemption since the lockdown but I don’t know that I would technically consider myself or staff essential service workers in the traditional sense of the word but others might disagree. I also do not want to get this wrong so I thought I would ask?. Is this for healthcare staff, grocery store persons, regiment etc… or all persons with exemption and have had access to public thus far.
Again, sorry for asking an d apologize if the answer has been posted elsewhere and I have missed it.
