Those who are less than 28 weeks pregnant are being urged to practise social distancing, but can keep working provided necessary precautions are taken.

Those over 28 weeks, or with underlying health conditions, 'should avoid direct patient contact and it is recommended that they stay at home' - but it should still be the woman's choice as to whether they work or not.

Will Meghan Markle Have to Sponsor Prince Harry's U.S. Work Visa?

Harry and Meghan have been married for almost two years, but the perception that you can marry a U.S. citizen and immediately live and work in the States is a myth, especially under the current circumstances. Unless the couple thought ahead and applied for Harry's work permit a while ago (think: at least a year ago), it's likely that they'll have a rocky road ahead of them getting Harry legally approved to work in Meghan's home country. He'll need to go through a lengthy and expensive work permit application process, get a social security number, and more—all during a period where UCSIS, the Citizenship and Immigration Services bureau, is struggling to figure out how to maintain normal operations during the coronavirus crisis.
