There are no current plans to do so. However, we will continue to keep all public health guidance under review.

On 25 February 2022, the Government issued updated guidance for those previously considered clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV), which is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19

For most people considered CEV, they are advised to follow general guidance to prevent the risk of infection, in addition to any further advice from their general practitioner or consultant.
