[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2285285, member: 521172"] Thanks DCUKMod - Managed to get a telephone appointment with my GP in two weeks as she is off on holiday!! o_O In the meantime the receptionist said that those who they were "concerned" about would have received letters/phone calls re blood tests etc over the last few months, but she will ask the GP if she can book me an HBA1c test whilst she is away and then discuss results when she comes back. I'd quite happily keep working from home as I live alone anyway so that's not been a problem but the problem is Boris is expecting ALL kids back in school so if that's the case with ours then the work from home option disappears. The problem with the mask situation is that from what I can gather they don't necessarily stop you contracting the virus but it makes it harder for you to spread the virus. So if you wear one as a Covid negative person but spend all day in a room with a Covid positive person who doesn't wear a mask it's not going to help much, but it will if you "both" wear one. IMO everyone in school, offices, public/working indoor spaces should be mandated to wear one and a lot of these places are going on Government guidance alone so come September I could for instance be the only one wearing a mask!
