Question: Is it okay for me to return to work in a factory?

Answer passage (source: UK):

section_headers: 3. Social distancing at work
section_content: In this section

3.1 Coming to work and leaving work
3.2 Moving around buildings and worksites
3.3 Workplaces and workstations
3.4 Meetings
3.5 Common areas
3.6 Accidents, security and other incidents

Objective: To maintain 2m social-distancing wherever possible, including while
arriving at and departing from work, while in work, and when travelling
between sites.
You must maintain social distancing in the workplace wherever possible.
Where the social distancing guidelines cannot be followed in full in relation
to a particular activity, businesses should consider whether that activity
needs to continue for the business to operate, and, if so, take all the
mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission between their
staff.
Mitigating actions include:

further increasing the frequency of hand washing and surface cleaning
keeping the activity time involved as short as possible
using screens or barriers to separate people from each other
using back-to-back or side-to-side working (rather than face-to-face) whenever possible.
reducing the number of people each person has contact with by using ‘fixed teams or partnering’ (so each person works with only a few others).

Social distancing applies to all parts of a business, not just the place where
people spend most of their time, but also entrances and exits, break rooms and
canteens and similar settings. These are often the most challenging areas to
maintain social distancing.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
These guidelines can help the requester stay safe at work as well as their colleagues regardless of whether they may have recovered from COVID-19 or not. It is not known what is meant by "okay" in this question so it's hard to say if the answer is specific enough or not.
This answer does not relate to whether or not it is okay to return to work at the factory.

Answer is more for employers and not employees and is dealing more with employees who have symptoms of COVID-19 which is not know to be an issue for the requester or not.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Factories, plants and warehouses
section_headers: 2. Who should go to work
2.3 People who have protected characteristics
section_content: Objective: To treat everyone in your workplace equally.
In applying this guidance, employers should be mindful of the particular needs
of different groups of workers or individuals.
It is breaking the law to discriminate, directly or indirectly, against anyone
because of a protected characteristic such as age, sex or disability.
Employers also have particular responsibilities towards disabled workers and
those who are new or expectant mothers.
Steps that will usually be needed:


Understanding and taking into account the particular circumstances of those with different protected characteristics.


Involving and communicating appropriately with workers whose protected characteristics might either expose them to a different degree of risk, or might make any steps you are thinking about inappropriate or challenging for them.


Considering whether you need to put in place any particular measures or adjustments to take account of your duties under the equalities legislation.


Making reasonable adjustments to avoid disabled workers being put at a disadvantage, and assessing the health and safety risks for new or expectant mothers.


Making sure that the steps you take do not have an unjustifiable negative impact on some groups compared to others, for example, those with caring responsibilities or those with religious commitments.



Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is geared more towards the employers themselves and towards the employee which is what the requester is. It also isn't known whether the "okay" refers to the employee having had COVID-19 already or if this was due to a lockdown of a factory that is now reopening.
This answer does not relate to whether it is okay for one to return to work at the factory.
