Shielding Letter Wales Extended. A letter from the chief medical officer for wales has been sent to those on the shielding patient list providing the latest information and advice. This is because the rates of transmission of coronavirus in the community have fallen significantly.
Read a copy of the letter. What they may do is change the criteria as they sent letter to everybody that may be vulnerable. Respondents were asked in two successive surveys as to whether they received a shielding letter.
I was late to the shielding party and didn't get my letter until 5 weeks after i'd been isolating then shielding anyway.
For people in wales, shielding will last until 15 june at least. The issues that relate to shielding and extended social distancing are broad. This advice is for people who have received a letter from the nhs or their gp saying they're at high risk from coronavirus. However, this may change and you should check your government or local council website for the most up to date information on the restrictions where you are.
