Dear Jamesuk
Thanks for your post to the Helpline. I'm sorry to hear that you are facing this uncertainty over whether you need to continue to shield.
Versus Arthritis and many health charities are lobbying the government over the lack of clarity for people who have been shielding, so do keep watching our covid 19 pages on our website as the situation progresses.
Currently we'd suggest you get in touch with your rheumatology team to determine your personal need in relation to shielding or what level of social distancing, you may need to practice. In our information https://www.versusarthritis.org/covid-19-updates/covid-19-assessing-your-risk/ you'll get a sense of the types of questions rheumatology will consider.
From there you may need to take that information and discuss it with your workplace. If you are a union member and need support, do consider using them. You may want to involve your GP if you need any further support. And the ACAS pages on Covid 19 may be of help.
If you'd like a chat about the situation, do please feel free to ring us on the freephone for the Helpline 0800 5200 520.
Kind regards
Guy Helpline Team
