I am T1 diabetic and ventolin asthmatic. I wondering what the ruling on being a key worker and still working with the above health issues is. Also does anyone know anything about this 80 percent support for wages if off for 12 weeks.
 
Hello thegoldman - Have you received a letter from your GP informing you personally should be shielding?

If not, it would appear that you are in the same boat as the rest of the population, in that you should be practising stringent social distancing. The most recent guidance is here:

https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...dance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others

and for those most vulnerable:

Queries over any 12 week pay would have to be taken up with your employer, as the onus is on them to deal with that, where relevant, however, for you it likely is a moot point.
