Thousands more people are set to be added to Suffolk s Covid shielding list - with another 7,000 likely to join 7,000 already added days earlier.
That would make 14,000 new additions to the list in total, after new categories for those considered clinically extremely vulnerable were unveiled by the government earlier in the week.
Friday s meeting of the local outbreak engagement board gathering of community leaders was told of the figures, with new categories for shielding based on a live algorithm called QCovid.
Chrissie Geeson from Suffolk County Council said an additional 14,000 people in the county were expected to join the Covid-19 shielding list
