[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 2236945, member: 467776"] This link is clearer. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults[/URL] (Advice as at 20th March) There are two groupings 1. "Increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19" and should be "particularly stringent in following social distancing measures": - is a broader group and includes Diabetics 2. "Even higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19" and should be "rigourously following the social distancing advice in full": [LIST] [*]people who have received an organ transplant and remain on ongoing immunosuppression medication [*]people with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiotherapy [*]people with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia who are at any stage of treatment [*]people with severe chest conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma (requiring hospital admissions or courses of steroid tablets) [*]people with severe diseases of body systems, such as severe kidney disease (dialysis) [/LIST] It is this second group who will be contacted next week by the NHS individually. It does not includes diabetics (unless you also happen to fall into this second group). [/QUOTE]
