I've received a letter in the second phase of shielding letters.
It's from the hospital and has my name and NHS and hospital number on, so I know it's not a mistake.
Is states fo shield for 12 weeks from the date and then goes on with lots on information on coping and help available.
I work in a GP surgery, and we had a lot of patients ringing up confused as to why they had a letter as no health issues, but may of had an inhaler 3/4 years ago for chesty coughs etc, but not diagnosed or coded as asthmatic, so worried they have been triggered by mistake, and now I'm not working for 12 weeks.
Have all asthmatics now had a letter?
And are they mandatory or advisory,
meaning you can still work if you choose, knowing the risks etc?
I feel bad leaving my colleagues to work whilst I'm safe at home, as were all at risk of getting this virus.
