section_headers: If you’re clinically extremely vulnerable
section_content: If you’re clinically extremely
vulnerable you
should have received a letter from the NHS asking you to self isolate.
The letter tells you how to register on a government website or an automated
helpline for support to get essential food supplies if friends or family
cannot help you.
If you’ve received this letter and have registered as having no means of
getting food:

you’ll be eligible for a government food parcel to be delivered to your home
Defra will pass your details to supermarkets

If you think you should have received a letter but have not had one, you
should contact your GP.

tell your delivery driver you do not need it
re-register on GOV.UK and answer ‘yes’ to the question ‘Do you have a way of getting essential supplies delivered at the moment?’

page_title: Guidance COVID-19: guidance for young people on shielding and protecting people most likely to become unwell if they catch coronavirus
section_headers: Clinically extremely vulnerable people
section_content: Some adults and young people have health conditions that mean they are more
likely to get very unwell and might have to go to hospital if they catch
coronavirus (COVID-19). These people are described as being clinically
extremely vulnerable and include those who:

have had a solid organ transplant – kidney, liver, pancreas, heart, or lung
are having treatments for some cancers
have severe long-term lung disease including cystic fibrosis and severe asthma
have rare diseases that increase their risk of infection
are on medication that compromises their immune system and so are much more likely to get infections and become seriously unwell from them
are pregnant with significant heart disease

This guidance is for all adults and young people who are most likely to become
very unwell if they catch coronavirus (COVID-19), wherever they live or
usually spend their time. This could be:

in their own home
in a care home
at school
at a special school (for example a school for young people with special educational needs)
at university
