Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the length of time that people identified as extremely clinically vulnerable will have to continue to shield for during the covid-19 outbreak.
From 1 August 2020, clinically extremely vulnerable people in England were no longer advised to shield. National advice for people at high risk from COVID-19 remains available at the following link:
