The government has issued a list of conditions which put people into an "extremely vulnerable" group. These patients should practice protective shielding. You will have received a letter from NHS England if you fall into this group.
If you believe that you have a medical condition which makes you extremely vulnerable to coronavirus (COVID-19), you can register using the government website by following the steps found on this webpage.
The measures are:
Strictly avoid contact with someone who is displaying symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19). These symptoms include high temperature and/or new and continuous cough.
Do not leave your house.
Do not attend any gatherings. This includes gatherings of friends and families in private spaces, for example, family homes, weddings and religious services.
Do not go out for shopping, leisure or travel and, when arranging food or medication deliveries, these should be left at the door to minimise contact.
Keep in touch using remote technology such as phone, internet, and social media.
Although you may not fall into this group, you may still be considered "at risk" and so should continue practicing social distancing and isolation as per the governments advice. For further details including examples of patients at risk, please see this link.
