Hi I missed yesterday’s PM news conference and may be among the lesser grade vulnerable group, if I get a letter ( which won’t come till after I leave for my nhs patient facing role tomorrow) what is the advice. Obviously if I have to stay at home it will affect what I organise tomorrow.
I’m hopeless searches and can only find newspaper reports. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

He didn't do a press conference yesterday, it was George Eustice that did it

www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults

It’s the advice for the highest risk group that changed yesterday i.e.

people who have received an organ transplant and remain on ongoing immunosuppression medication
people with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiotherapy
people with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia who are at any stage of treatment
people with severe chest conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma (requiring hospital admissions or courses of steroid tablets)
people with severe diseases of body systems, such as severe kidney disease (dialysis)

They were advised to stay at home for 12 weeks

Thank you pocketed.

It does not mention the group instructions. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
