Additional people have been identified as being at higher risk of adverse outcomes from Covid-19 based on research over the past year. The risks identified are broadly based on age, BMI (Body mass index), ethnicity, deprivation (based on postcode) and underlying health conditions. Those who are now deemed at risk will receive an email or letter outlining why they have been added to the list and why they are being encouraged to shield as a precautionary measure. Please click here to see a copy of the letter issued by the Government. Public Health Norfolk will also be contacting those identified to explain the support available locally.
