Half of clinically extremely vulnerable in England still shielding – data
Half of England’s clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) people have continued to shield from Covid despite government advice they no longer needed to, new figures show.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said 50 per cent of CEV people reported they were continuing to shield when asked between 26 April and 1 May.
But an ONS analysis, published on Friday, found that 84 per cent of CEV people reported being aware that government advice to shield had been paused and that two-thirds (67 per cent) had received two doses of coronavirus vaccine.
The ONS said that approximately 420,000 (11 per cent) CEV people were estimated to have not left the house in the last seven days.

A new study published today looks at the extent to which people managed to access NHS healthcare in April 2020, and as lockdown restrictions eased.
The researchers found that, despite high levels of unmet need, there was equal access to NHS hospital care for people at different levels of income. And the NHS principle of equal treatment for equal need was upheld.
