I have wolf Parkinson white syndrome. How does this effect me with the corona virus? should I be isolating? I work with children and cant distance myself. Now work are asking if I can return to work. Can anyone give me advice, I'm worried of being put at risk with my heart condition.

Long standing heart condition would put you in the high risk - social distancing group but not the super vulnerable - shielding group who are having to avoid leaving home at all (they are the group who are receiving NHS letters).

If you are in doubt of your vulnerable status then you should contact your own doctor for guidance and/or a letter if you feel you need to be shielded.

Thank you I have a phone slot with my GP on Friday I thought I was in that group but I cant social distance in the work I do. My understanding is letters are only for the super high risk.

Not what you're looking for?
