Hi Gazlad9 and welcome to the online Community.

Our page, Coronavirus (COVID-19) - what is it and where to go for information has links to help with risk-assessment and registering this with the Government for additional support . You should have been contacted by your GP or hospital clinician. If this has not happened, you should now contact your GP or clinician yourself.

One of our Moderators who is in the High Risk group has posted about her experience in this thread. It appears that some people have already had their letter, whilst others are having to work through their GP / health professionals to have this happen. Letters are still going out.

Stay well and stay safe. Best wishes

In Addition...

I found this entry on the Government's Guidance - Coronavirus outbreak FAQs: what you can and can't do:

10. My boss is forcing me to go to work but I’m scared of coronavirus. What should I do?

… For these workers who need to be at work, do not have symptoms or live with anyone who has symptoms, and are not vulnerable people, we have outlined clear guidance for employers to help protect workers.

Best wishes
