If you have asthma no.
Isolate for 12 weeks. Your boss can't sack you and they can put in a claim to government to get help gorgeous paying your wages, my boss has and my job is secure

Hi I have a 9 year old son with Asthma. I haven't recieved a letter for him. We have had it under control for the last 10 months after his last attack. I just need to know if he has to be isolated for 12 weeks?
Hope everyone is safe & well

Hi,
I have moderate asthma and am on Fostair inhaler 100/6 (2 puffs twice a day). I don't fit the severe high risk category, but I had uncontrolled asthma in November time and had to take 2 courses of Prednisolone for 10 days and also antibiotics for a chest infection. Every time I get a normal cold, I always have to take my Ventolin inhaler to counteract the symptoms and have a chest infection.
It is well controlled at the present time and I don't need my Ventolin inhaler at present. My only concern is I work on the frontline for the NHS! I've been risk assessed by my Trust and they state that I won't be working with suspected or confirmed cases of Covid-19 patients but I think this will not matter as the weeks go by, as we're going to be inundated! I'm quite scared. Any advice?
