With a lot of mis-information being circulated, staying up to date with correct information is critical – and we suggest that you review the Government Guidelines for accuracy, as these are updated regularly. We’ve summarised some of the critical areas as to where you can find the right info.

Guidance on shielding and protecting people defined on medical grounds as extremely vulnerable from COVID-19
This guidance is for people, including children, who are at very high risk of severe illness from coronavirus (COVID-19) because of an underlying health condition, and for their family, friends and carers. It is intended for use in situations where the extremely vulnerable person is living in their own home, with or without additional support. This includes the extremely clinically vulnerable people living in long-term care facilities, either for the elderly or persons with special needs.
