Coronavirus | Worker claims she was fired for wearing a face mask to work

Taking precautions at work to avoid catching illnesses is something most employees may consider, as no one wants to catch a sniffle when they have an important deadline that needs to be met.

However, one employee alleged that she was reprimanded and fired for her decision to safeguard herself from contracting coronavirus.

According to the Daily Mail, 24-year-old Tiffany who is from Hong Kong and is currently on a working holiday visa in Australia, has been fired from her Sydney CBD job after wearing a mask to work amid fears of the deadly virus.

She wore the mask on her shift at UGG Australian Collection, where she was asked to remove the face mask or ‘go home’ by her manager and boss.
