Residents who are classed as clinically extremely vulnerable are again being advised to shield in order to protect against catching Covid-19.
The new guidance includes to stay at home at all times, unless for exercise or medical appointments, and not to attend work, even if they are unable to work from home.
The National Shielding Service has been reactivated and at a local level, Essex Wellbeing Service can provide residents with a single point of access to practical, emotional and specialist support. Practical support ranges from help accessing priority supermarket shopping slots, volunteers collecting medicines and befriending support via a phone buddy.
