NHS England letter for the vulnerable: If you haven't had one

They have allowed all week but I gather you can also apply online using this link:

But remember: if you are not working you must be remaining at home and not having contact with others from outside your household. That counts as stringent social distancing and is all that we are asked to do here in Italy. If you don't go out for a walk or shopping you are doing almost as much as self-isolation.

Agreed I think this is for those who don’t have anyone to help them get shopping etc : so I didn’t apply.

A GP has said that the system wasn't perfect and suspects there are numerous patients who weren't caught in their net. He offered to write a "To whom it may concern" letter for them - but you really don't know in advance whether you may need assistance of some sort if your carer is ill, even if it isn't Covid19 they get. It is worth following up.
