Advice to clinically extremely vulnerable people.
The Government has issued new guidance to clinically extremely vulnerable people. Whilst this is not a return to the very restrictive shielding advice you may have followed earlier in the year, you are strongly advised to follow these extra precautionary shielding measures to help keep yourself safe. This remains advice, not the law. The council has published this supporting letter and leaflet for clinically extremely vulnerable people living in the district, to support you and guide you to other useful partners and organisations that can offer help.
You should stay at home as much as possible but are encouraged to go outdoors for exercising and attending health appointments. You are strongly advised to work from home. If you cannot work from home, then you should not attend work. You may be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (furlough).
The new national restrictions, and this specific advice will apply across England for four weeks up to Wednesday 2 December. At the end of this period, we expect to return to guidance that is specific to our region, based on the latest data.
Please remember that the NHS is open, and we urge you to continue to access all the NHS services that you need. It is safer for you to use the NHS than to try to manage alone. If you are concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on your health, speak to your GP, hospital clinician or use NHS111. Further information on how to access help, including how to register for support, can be found in the below pages.
We know that this is a difficult time and many people are making significant sacrifices. Thank you for your efforts to keep yourself and others safe.
