[heckythump01]

Will i be able to go back to work............i have no idea whether i will recieve another sheilding letter or not! not sure how i feel! so much wizzing through my head

Government have said highly likely to be extended. Can you wfh or furlough?

The government website says to expect an extension of the shielding period.

thankfully im very lucky as i work in a school and currently im still getting paid! just feel so up and down as im missing family, friends and work collegues.

excuse spellings as my dog is poorly and im typing with one hand!

Can anyone link where it says about it being extended on the G.Ment website? My mum is also extremely vulnerable and works for the NHS. I've told her to expect to not go back but she's desperate for official info.

I can’t see an alternative to shielding until there’s a treatment, a vaccine or herd immunity.

Of course, it should be voluntary, not a legal requirement

Can your job be done from home?

It’s on the 50 page document!

Protecting the most clinically vulnerable people
Some people have received a letter from the NHS, their clinician or their GP telling them that as a result of having certain medical conditions, they are considered to be clinically extremely

vulnerable.
Throughout this period, the Government will need to continue an extensive

Those in the clinically extremely vulnerable cohort will continue to be advised to shield themselves for some time yet, and the Government recognises the difficulties this brings for those affected. Over the coming weeks, the Government will continue to introduce more support and assistance for these individuals so that they have the help they need as they stay shielded. And the Government will bring in further measures to support those providing the shield - for example, continuing to prioritise care workers for testing and protective equipment.

I haven't had official notification but its probably safe to assume the shielding notice will be extended. No government would say the most vulnerable are safe at this point, they'll officially extend before the 30th June they originally said.

Hi op. I'm in the same position as you. I don't think I could cope with it being extended. But I am also scared of going back to work because I don't want to catch the virus.

Heard a really interesting interview on Radio4 earlier about their plans in Scotland, they're acknowledging that is must be test, track, isolate and support - you can't ask people to shut themselves away at home without giving the adequate support in every way. The English document does say further kinds of report are going to be put in place too.

My son was told to start shielding last week, taking him up to 7th August. I would assume it will be extended for those people who have been shielding before then.

We have been shielding as a family from the beginning as my partner is in the most vulnerable category ...I honestly don’t know what we will do come September when our child is due to start school.
There is no one size fits all solution for everyone as we all have different circumstances and different reasons why we need to shield.
They may never produce a vaccine and we can’t stay inside forever.
I’m hoping they come up with a solution soon.
