Last week, England and Wales announced changes to the shielding guidance. This week Northern Ireland and Scotland have also issued updated guidance. It varies slightly between nations, so please pay attention to the guidance for your nation.

Remember that if you have been asked to shield, it is guidance only, and not compulsory, but use your best judgement to keep yourself safe at all times.

Keep your eye on national (and even local) guidance as the situation can change rapidly.
