Hi philvaughan, so far as I know anyone CEV should be shielding like before. Don’t go out unless really necessary and work from home if you can. Medical appointments should still be kept and exercising once per day outside.

I’m sure others will be able to help too and apologies if I’ve got anything wrong.

Take care xxxxx

I’d err on the side of caution law or no law....shield if you should. Xxx

Also for those who live in Wales or Scotland they may find their January 2021 letter update by google search - Sheilding update January 2021. I believe this is already available to the people of Wales and Scotland. :)

Last updated 31st December 2020.

I am sure in due course all those CEV will receive a letter, meantime just go with the update of 31st, your choice of course.

If you had to shield in the first lockdown, it will explain this in the section shielding for extreme clinically vulnerable people!

That's the best advice I can give you! You know how vulnerable you are! So even if you haven't had a letter from your GP, I would follow this advice as much as possible !

Take care and stay safe 💞🤗

Bkin and me posted same website which was updated on the 31 December and it is applicable now! 👍

It went through parliament yesterday so was law at midnight last night. But quite straight forward. Stay home stay away from people. Wash hands alot. Only esential shopping and exercise. Stay safe

Yes I got a letter through e mail. That said that the letter was proof of you not being able to work due to shielding and was valid until the 21 st February 2021. Mine also said that I would be getting an invite for the vaccine mid February.
