An intensive care nurse says she feels safer at work in a hospital than she would in some supermarkets.
Jodi Leigh, 31, from Partington, says she and her colleagues have all the personal protection equipment (PPE) they need.
But she says she fears for other key workers especially at some supermarkets who carry out their jobs without wearing PPE.
She said she would feel more nervous in their position.
Jodi told the Manchester Evening News: "A lot of people are still treating the supermarket like a family day out.
"In some of them there are a lot of people there all at once and it's just an unnecessary risk that all of us as a community shouldn't have to take.
"I have seen people reach over people who are stacking shelves rather than giving them the space to be able to work safely.
"I'm quite happy going to work, knowing I have all the right equipment and knowing I'm as safe as I can be.
"I would be a lot more nervous if I was in their position because I have this mask on and those around me are behaving responsibly."
Jodi, who works at an intensive care unit at a Greater Manchester hospital, said her unit is being managed brilliantly and she feels supported.
She said: "At the moment we have enough PPE to get us through the day. It's being managed brilliantly. We are being very well supported."
The mother of a six-year-old daughter shared a picture on Facebook showing how the face mask she wore was fitted so snugly it left a mark on her face at the end of a 12-hour shift.
"That's how it looked after just a few hours. These masks have to be quite tight in order to form a seal around your nose and mouth.
"It would be lovely to have ones that don't mark your face but they wouldn't be as effective.
"Anybody treating Covid patients all day will come out with marks on their face and sore ears.
"We're all nervous but in terms of a team I myself have never worked with a more professional bunch of people," she said.
"We wouldn't get through the day without each other. Honestly, everybody around us is so supportive.
"There's always somebody to talk to you and give you that bit of a lift to get you through the rest of the day. I'd love to be able to say this is going to pass any time soon but it's not a luxury we have at the moment.
"Everybody in the country has got to grit their teeth and get through this in the best way that we can."
She admitted she felt safer at work than in some supermarkets and that she had now changed where she shopped.
Jodi published a post on Facebook expressing her concern for other key workers.
She wrote: "There are even more key workers in our community who don't have access to this equipment as part of their roles.
"Our delivery drivers, shop assistants, teachers, teaching assistants, many of our community carers, volunteers, bus drivers, postal workers and loads more.
"They are entirely dependant on our community looking after them by staying at home unless absolutely necessary and being considerate when we must leave our homes.
"Please be considerate. Stay home. And when you can't, give our precious key workers their 2 metres of distance, even if you're wearing a mask. We can all do something to help get through this."
