Petition Re-introduce shielding for the clinically extremely vulnerable
Re-introduce a shielding scheme for the clinically extremely vulnerable, whilst COVID cases are on the rise again, especially with the new Omicron variant.
More details
This should provide clear advice for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable, and practical and financial support.
People who are extremely clinically vulnerable people need more assistance and help to stay safe during this pandemic.
Many people who were previously covered by shielding guidance are being required to work, and are not receiving essential support.
During the first round of shielding, we were supported with deliveries, able to have financial assistance if we could not work from home etc.
We feel forgotten about and at risk.
