Is there new info?

[Dazakella2010 in reply to Camelian]

No, no new information... I had a generic letter from guys before and now today I had one personal to me. The letter stated that I had been identified by the nhs as someone at risk of severe illness if I were to catch coronavirus. This is because I have an underlying diseased health condition that means if I catch the virus I am more likely to be admitted to hospital than others or my medication puts me at higher higher risk. As I said this is the second letter from guys but I have also has a third letter from my gp surgery too stating similar to the above.

Yes mine was dated 1st May. I compared it with someone who had received their letter in March. Mostly the same content but coming from a different source.
