Shielding advice for very high-risk groups
Today the Government has released new guidelines for people who are at high risk of needing critical care if they catch coronavirus.
We strongly recommend you follow this guidance if you are in one of the high-risk groups.
We have had more specific guidance from the Department of Health and Social Care about who is in the high-risk groups. Based on this, our clinical leads have helped us to create the following list, which should help you work out if you are in the high-risk group or not. This list is the best information we have at the moment about who is at high risk. We will update it if we get any new information or if the guidance changes.
If you are, or your child is, taking:
Any biologic therapy, also called a mAb (Xolair/omalizumab, Nucala/mepolizumab, Cinqaero/reslizumab, Fasenra/benralizumab)
Steroid tablets or liquid every day
Antibiotic tablets or liquid for asthma every week (e.g. azithromycin)
Tiotropium
A combination inhaler that also contains a long-acting bronchodilator (e.g. Seretide, Fostair, Symbicort) at a high daily steroid dose (see the list below)
An inhaler with a high daily steroid dose (see the list below) AND you are taking Montelukast
Then you should follow the shielding advice, which means:
Stay at home at all times and avoid any face-to-face contact with others for at least 12 weeks.
Get food, medicines and other essential items delivered, and have the person delivering them leave them at the door. You can ask friends and neighbours to help with this, or use delivery services. If you can’t do this, public services and charities are gearing up to help people who have to stay at home. From Tuesday 24th March you can register for extra services from Government.
Use phone or online services to contact your GP or other services if needed.
Inside your home, minimise all non-essential contact with other people you live with.
People who provide essential support for you, such as healthcare or support with your daily needs or social care, can still come to your home. But if they have symptoms of COVID-19, they should not come. You should make a plan for how your care needs will be met if your carer becomes ill.
If you get symptoms of COVID-19, which means a fever or a new continuous cough, use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service or call 111 as soon as you get symptoms. Do not wait for your symptoms to get worse.
If someone else lives with you, they do not have to follow the shielding guidance. They should follow the social distancing guidance very closely and do what they can to support you with shielding.
If you are not on the medicines listed above, but any of these apply to you:
You have had an admission to hospital in the last year,
You have needed 2 or more courses of oral steroids in the last year, OR
You are using your blue reliever inhaler 3 or more times per week
Then you may benefit from stricter social distancing and shielding. If you are using your reliever inhaler more than 3 times a week we would also recommend that you speak to your GP or asthma nurse about improving your asthma control as soon as possible.
Social distancing advice for everyone not in the very high-risk groups
The Government has strongly advised that everyone reduce the amount of contact they have with others. This is called “social distancing” and it helps cut down the spread of the virus.
. Though to be honest, this is the best year I’ve had, at this time of year, for the last 3 ! So staying positive. Stay safe everyone 
Do you have asthma or a lung condition? Have you changed to a lower-carbon inhaler and found it works well for you?
