Hi, I have been taking ACE inhibitors to control my blood pressure for a few years. As I work in a supermarket doing online shopping and come into contact with people. Am I in the "at risk" category with COVID-19? Please could you advise. Thank you.

Hi, I'm currently at work and have not received any letter to tell me otherwise. People that are in the "Critical high risk" have had the 12 week instructions via letter. If you are at "high risk" I think you should adhere to government guidelines. If you can't do your job without a contact with someone with a 2 meter distance then I'd make your employer aware of how to protect from this situation.
