During this time only healthcare workers and essential carers should be visiting you, which can include family and friends who are helping to provide essential care.
If you are considered vulnerable, you should use food delivery services rather than visit the shops yourself, and if this isn’t possible family and friends can leave essential items on your doorstep.
However, if this is not possible you can register to receive support on the Government website (more details below).
The NHS is currently recruiting volunteers to help bring food deliveries and support to people staying at home.
In England, those considered extremely vulnerable if they catch coronavirus are being directly contacted by the NHS from March 23.
But if you think you might be considered extremely vulnerable, and have not been written to or contacted by your GP by March 29, you should discuss these concerns with your hospital clinician or GP.
