New guidance issued by Public Health England for people at high risk from Coronavirus
New guidance has been issued by Public Health England for those at high risk from Coronavirus and who are currently shielding.
In England, from 6 July 2020:
- you do not need to try to stay 2 metres away from people you live with
- you can meet with 1 other household if you live alone or you’re a single parent who lives alone with your children – this is called a support bubble
- you can meet outside with people you do not live with, in groups of up to 6 – as long as you stay 2 metres away from each other
People at high risk from coronavirus will no longer be advised to shield from 1 August 2020.
To find out more on these developments please visit the NHS Advice for people at high risk from coronavirus.
