New information today Coronavirus 19

this is for high risk patients, diabetics older people and people with asthma have to have twelve weeks with as little contact as they can, so they can go food shopping, but to try and avoid public transport

It is not all people with Asthma. It depends on what treatment you are on.

I am getting more and more confused, Should a 60yr old with Diabetes and high cholestrial be going from door to door delivering parcels, I read somewhere that our bosses should talking to us about it but at our work they think it is a conspiracy.

My manager is the same doesn't believe there's a problem. I found our company had set up Corona advice email and contacted them, try you HR department.

But they only advise to get medical certificate from GP or NHS111 advising against work. I would then be recorded as sick but no symptoms.

Don't really want stress out NHS service tho, so not rang yet keep hoping Government advise will improve, but so far it's life as usual for me.

Most delivery companies are just knocking and leaving on doorsteps .

Is this what you have been told from PHE?
Can we have clarity as to what "Stringent Social Distancing" means especially for health care workers.

This is true!! I am a community nurse and when i attend to patients it is impossible to keep the minimum 2 meters from an individual.. yet my manager tells me that i am less inclined to contract the virus..
