Hello Rome,
Although we can’t give you detailed information about whether you are considered extremely vulnerable, you may find the following information helpful.
The NHS will be writing to everyone in England who is considered to be extremely vulnerable. You can read the advice they will be given and the types of people they will be contacting on the Public Health England website here.
We have some information about coronavirus on our website here.
As the situation changes and more evidence become available about coronavirus and its impact, the information may change so we would suggest that you check the government information on the link above from time to time.
You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Best wishes,
