Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut

Employer requests

I'm the office manager for a medical office. One physician is home recupperating from a surgery and has requested staff members to drop various items off at his house which is located two towns over from the office, at least a 1/2 hour drive with no company car. Is this unreasonable?
