[QUOTE="jan.steamqueen67, post: 2260834, member: 498770"] Hi all just had a update by email, as i signed up to the goverment emails, this was from as of 2pm 11 May 2020 noticed its gone from Stringent social distancing to advised to stay at home. I am still working type 2 , high blood pressure on tablets for both work in a emergency control room, nhs but i was just interested why the change this has not been mentioned anywhere, anyone else seen this Janey [SIZE=5][B]8. Clinically vulnerable people[/B][/SIZE] If you have any of the following health conditions, you are clinically vulnerable, meaning you are at higher risk of severe illness from coronavirus. You are advised to stay at home as much as possible and, if you do go out, take particular care to minimise contact with others outside your household. Clinically vulnerable people are those who are: [LIST] [*]aged 70 or older (regardless of medical conditions) [*]under 70 with an underlying health condition listed below (that is, anyone instructed to get a flu jab as an adult each year on medical grounds): [*]chronic (long-term) mild to moderate respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema or bronchitis [*]chronic heart disease, such as heart failure [*]chronic kidney disease [*]chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis [*]chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), or cerebral palsy [*]diabetes [*]a weakened immune system as the result of certain conditions, treatments like chemotherapy, or medicines such as steroid tablets [*]being seriously overweight (a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above) [*]pregnant women [/LIST] As above, there is a further category of people with serious underlying health conditions who are clinically extremely vulnerable, meaning they are at very high risk of severe illness from coronavirus. You, your family and carers should be aware of the guidance on shielding which provides information on how to protect yourself still further should you wish to. [/QUOTE]
