SHIELDING THREAD (1/3)

From Monday, the 2.2 million people who’ve been shielding can go outside for first time.

This will be with either members of their household, or, if they live alone, to meet one other person.

Full guidance will follow tomorrow.
(2/3)

We are focused on finding the right balance between continuing to protect those at the greatest clinical risk, whilst easing restrictions on their daily lives to make the situation more bearable - particularly enabling the contact with loved ones they and we all seek.
(3/3)

We will now be providing regular updates to the shielded to guide them through the next phase and we hope, to better and less restrictive times.

In the meantime we will continue to provide the support that the shielded in our communities need.
