[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2261186, member: 94045"] As I understand it, and please correct me if I am wrong, there are basically 2 sets of rules for people in England. The first is those who are clinically [B]extremely[/B] vulnerable who must continue to shield and stay indoors at all times. These are people with severe conditions who have (or should have had) a letter from their GP about it, and are entitled to claim food boxes and priority for supermarket deliveries. Nothing has changed for these people and they are obviously not allowed to go out to work.. The second is for [B]everyone[/B] else, including those who are clinically vulnerable such as over 70's, diabetics and so forth on the list in post #1. These people can follow the new rules about going out more than once a day for exercise including driving somewhere to do this as long as you return the same day, meet a person from a different household in the open air (not in houses or gardens) but only on a one-to-one basis (not in a group) as long as social distancing is observed. They are advised to work from home if at all possible, avoid public transport if at all possible, and if they are unable to work from home the employer [B]must [/B]provide a safe environment, and there will be spot checks on employers to make sure this is happening. How this works in hospitals I have no idea, other than appropriate PPE must be given. The only "extra" for the clinically vulnerable is to be extra vigilant with their choices. [/QUOTE]
