The school I work for in Switzerland has got a preliminary reopen date of 11th May. Things in Switzerland aren't as bad as in the UK. I returned to the UK immediately the school shut due to the virus and have been exceptionally careful not to expose myself AT ALL.
I'm VERY anxious at the thought of travel back to Switzerland. This end wouldn't be too bad, there is an airport in my city with direct flights BUT I'd have a 2 train and 2 bus journey at the other end. Very nice journey, usually. Around Lake Geneva. But the risk of exposure is SO high. On the plane. On the public transport.
I'm SO anxious about this. There is NO WAY I will feel safe enough to return this soon.
I understand why they want to reopen as soon as possible but I really just don't feel it will be safe. To be honest, I don't think travel is going to be safe until very late summer, at the latest.
I just don't know what to do.
Most people who work there that are British are still there. They have apartments/houses and have isolated in their homes. I lived in school though and as the school closed, I had to (wanted to) go home. They will not take it well if I refuse to go back and break the terms of my contract.
