[QUOTE="ert, post: 2367796, member: 504712"] Here is an article on the changes. It looks like even though they are shielding they are still group 6 rather than group 4: [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56086965[/URL] "It comes after a [URL='https://digital.nhs.uk/coronavirus/risk-assessment/population']new model[/URL] was developed that takes into account extra factors rather than just health. This calculation includes things such as ethnicity, deprivation (by postcode) and weight to work out a person's risk of becoming seriously ill if they were to catch Covid. It also looks at age, underlying health issues and prescribed medications. Prof Andrew Hayward, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), which has been involved in the modelling, said it considered a "combination of factors" such as age, ethnicity and chronic illness and put them together to reach a score."
