Boris also just mentioned in the commons the clinically extremely vulnerable people and said we must continue to shield and avoid ALL contact with people outside our home. He acknowledged it is hard for us and said they are looking at all ways to support us. If you want to hear it it is available on BBC parliament on iplayer which you can rewind.

From the above document:

Protecting the most clinically vulnerable people

Some people have received a letter from the NHS, their clinician or their GP telling them that as a result of having certain medical conditions, they are considered to be clinically extremely vulnerable. (19)

Throughout this period, the Government will need to continue an extensive programme of shielding for this group while the virus continues to circulate. (20).

The Government will also have to adjust its protections for other vulnerable locations like prisons and care homes, based on an understanding of the risk.(21)

Those in the clinically extremely vulnerable cohort will continue to be advised to shield themselves for some time yet, and the Government recognises the difficulties this brings for those affected. Over the coming weeks, the Government will continue to introduce more support and assistance for these individuals so that they have the help they need as they stay shielded. And the Government will bring in further measures to support those providing the shield - for example, continuing to prioritise care workers for testing and protective equipment.
