Hi I’ve recently had a aortic heart valve operation would I be classed as vulnerable? I’ve heard conflicting advice and am not sure if I should be isolating for 12 weeks
Many thanks

Hi Tanyasharo
Please see the NHS advice below
Social Distancing
gov.uk/government/publicati...
Self-isolating for 12 weeks with serious health conditions – see the section headed – If you are at high risk
nhs.uk/conditions/coronavir...
The final bullet -have another serious health condition is at the moment a bit vague, the best advice is to wait for the next week, until 30th March to see if you receive a letter telling you that you are in this category, do not contact your GP in the meantime to see if you're in this category as this will swamp the surgeries
How recently ? If some time ago you are in a much better situation than before surgery.
