You are more vulnerable according to government advice but I would check with your GP.I emailed mine for advice.

Yep, along with vigorous hand washing with plain old soap and water.

We've all been told numerous times, yet are still ignoring government advice.

Life's about to get a whole lot more uncomfortable if we fail to exercise some common social isolating sense.

It would be impossible for me to social distance as I work in a nursery school will need more guidance

Thank you

It is a very difficult time for people expected to continue go to work, especially with a health condition.You have my sympathy.I'm sure you've been doing the handwashing routine to the full at work haven't you.Try to contact your GP and then review from there.I know the schools are only taking where strictly necessary.What is the state of play at your nursery?

Not what you're looking for?
