Shielding ends on 1 April

[Sue]

Has anybody else in the clinically extremely vulnerable group received a very long email telling them that from 1 April (the date seems appropriate), they are no longer advised to shield, but going on at great length about all the extra precautions they are still advised to take?

Can anyone else make sense of it?

It seems to me that we are still advised to shield, but it is no longer called that, so some unfortunate people will have to return to work.

I didn?t get it yet. Are we to basically continue everything we are doing, but no longer are shielding?

Do you think it?s something to do with not everyone having a second vaccine yet (in that group)?

[muffins78]

I got it. It?s very long winded. Like you say, returning to work could be difficult.

I found it very confusing.

As in: you no longer need to shield, but don't do this, don't do that, get someone else to get your medication, avoid shops where possible, etc etc etc

Shielding in all but name, so far as I can see.

I don't remember getting such an email..

I delete emails which I consider I do not need to read.

It went to people in the clinically extremely vulnerable group, so if you are not in that group (which I don't think you can be as you have not been shielding) then you wouldn't have got it.

But if you had been in that group, it would probably not have been a very good idea to delete it without reading it.
