Good morning, teresa297 , I live in Wales and my last letter extended shielding until 31 March. I have googled the shielding date for England and the latest info I could find is that the date in England is still 21 February. Hope this helps. I'm sure your GP would know, if I were you I'd give my GP's surgery a call and ask them.

Best to wait and see what announcements are made as they are due then I think. I’m not in a hurry to go back to work
