Get in touch with your GP and ask his advice and ask if you will be getting a letter. Let us know how it goes. Have a good day and take care 🤗 Bernadette xxxxx 🌈

We should hear something this week Damon. Scotland and Wales have extended the date. One to the end of July, the other to the end of August.

I would expect England to do the same.

It might be an idea to contact your employer and let them know that it expected that shielding will be extended.

No need to worry just yet.🙂

Hi Emily611

I am off work (adult social care) but not shielding. I believe your workplace has to ensure 2 meter social distancing which I dont think is possible for you? Your workplace should complete a risk assessment on you which you are entitled to see.

Do you have anyone you can take advise from? A union maybe?

Hope it all works out ok for you.

Take Care

No union no one it's a small nursing home. Work relying on government guidelines and so far there isnt any

What a worry for you.

Do hope you get it sorted I agree with Damon ,have a chat with your GP.

Try not to worry till you have GP s advice.

Stay well and safe

I would also suggest contacting you GP, go through your concerns, your doctor can easily write you a sick note so that you may continue shielding.

As no letter it's back to work end of the month
