Hello members, have you also received a letter about continuing to shield? What do you think about this?

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?
