12 week shielding

[kayjxo]

Hi.
Has anyone else been 12 week shielding since March from work under the 'high risk' category??? This is obviously ending next month and although the government guidelines have not been updated regarding pregnancy I wanted to know if anyone has any advice from their current workplace.
I work in a hospice caring for terminally ill patients so coronavirus has been present at my workplace.
Again, I know nothing is clear to anyone anymore than me but I just wanted to hear some thoughts. Thankyou x

There are a few threads where the shielded chat - you’ll see them in ‘active’ from time to time

Pregnancy (other than with the co-morbid heart condition, sorry can’t remember off the top of my head what it is) is not on the shield list.

The cardiac issues mean you’ll be on it fir as long as the shielded are told to shield (or at a safe interval post natally) Can you seek advice from cardiologist, both for what to do after delivery, and also if there are any ways in which you can prudently modify your shield (eg if you live in the back of beyond, can you go out for a walk?)

This is obviously ending next month

Sorry to be the voice of doom, but if you look at your letter you will see it either says ‘at least 12 weeks’ (first wave) or ‘until at least the end of June’ (second wave).

There is no certainty shield guidance will change then (and I suppose a lot will depend on what happens to transmission rates in the coming weeks as restrictions on the non-shielding population in England are modified (I think England’s peak was a couple of weeks before that in the other home nations, do I expect their changes will likewise follow in a couple of weeks)
