My eldest daughter received her 'shielding' letter very late. Indeed, in her offices, several of her colleagues has already contracted, and recovered from this virus, and she had worked throughout the big London surge.
Then she was told she was not permitted to go in to work, has continued to work from home, which she hates. She is very healthy and fit, but had her spleen removed some thirty years ago.
She has a holiday arranged for last week in July- and, I assume that she will be able to return to work after that. She drives to work, has her own office, and normally is the first person to enter the building very early in the morning directly after the cleaners have left. She has always taken her own packed lunch and coffee with her.
I am so happy for her as I know how really fed up and down she has felt at being forced to work only from home.
