Hello JANNIEH. Sadly lots of people have not had letters. All i can say is ring the BHF helpline. Or do some research online. My friend has heart problems and said from the information he found online. This virus can affect the heart too. So he was going to stay in. Hope your keeping well Brian

Hello and welcome to the forum! Things are explained in this BHF pinned post :

However, there does appear to be inconsistencies probably caused differences between doctors' and hospital records, and the EPR (electronic patient record). If you feel you should have had a letter and have it ring your GP.
