Hi, living in South Wales, UK. I have been told to continue to shield until 16th August 

Hi this is Keith's wife, he has COPD, & mild dementia so I am telling him he still can't go many places, ie; shopping, &many other places where their is crowds, he hasn't had any letter from anywhere, as I too have asthma, & other health problems,  all I do is go shopping visit my kids, Grandkids, from a distance. do you think I am ok to let Keith go shopping with me ???.

regards

Beryl Gale

Hello members, thank you for participating in our discussion, I hope you are doing well!

Have any of you heard about a doctor-issued card indicating that you cannot wear a mask? Do you have any information or advice to share with Tracy51?
