Get Coronavirus support as an extremely vulnerable person:
Register if you have a medical condition that makes you extremely vulnerable to Coronavirus. For example, you’ll be able to ask for help getting deliveries of essential supplies like food. If you’re not sure whether your medical condition makes you extremely vulnerable, register anyway. You can register yourself, or on behalf of someone else. www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable
