Hi everyone,

Next week, the UK government will announce its "Plan for Living with COVID-19".

Together with 17 other charities, LUPUS UK has developed a set of 5 key tests that the plan must meet in order to protect and support people that remain at higher risk from COVID-19. Today, a letter has been sent to the Prime Minister and other key ministers outlining our tests.

You can read about the what the coalition is asking for on the LUPUS UK website at lupusuk.org.uk/plan-for-liv...

Thanks Paul It is a good job that someone is fighting for the clinically vulnerable. The government/politicians (where has "following the science" gone?) seem to be hell-bent on allowing a free for all regardless of the risk/impact on people who are already coping with serious illness and are very frightened of the prospect of catching Covid 19 as well. Many thanks for your hard work and keep up the fight.

Hi Paul, I’ve written to my (Tory) MP today about several issues I’m concerned with and dropping the five day isolation and free lateral flow testing is among them, so this has been timely as I have now included the link to it in my email to her for her to read.

Thank you for this and all that you do for us🙏

Hope you’re keeping safe.
