Sydney has been in lockdown for six weeks now, but the number of Covid-19 infections is still continuing to rise.

While most residents are able to stay at home, thousands of essential workers are traveling to their place of employment everyday, to keep the city turning. They’re doctors, nurses, teachers, carers, but they’re also cooks, cleaners and factory workers.

And according to the state government, they’re the people most at risk of catching and spreading Covid-19. 

Today, we speak to Paloma, an essential worker living in Sydney’s south-west, about her job and what the government could be doing to help the most vulnerable.
