Vulnerable People REGISTER NOW
South Huish Parish Council
Communication received from Devon Association of Local Councils 1st April 2020:
A network of shielding hubs coordinated by local authorities is being set up across Devon to help those most at risk from coronavirus with urgent food, medicine and care supplies.
Devon County Council is working with the local district and city councils in response to the government's announcement that 1.5 million of the UK's most vulnerable people are being asked to shield in self isolation for at least 12 weeks.
Following initial contact from the NHS, affected individuals will be contacted by a member of staff from Devon County Council to find out what support they need and how they will be best supported. The district and city councils will work locally to manage the delivery of this support within their communities including the delivery of food parcels.
Anyone that has not received a letter from the NHS and believes they have a medical condition which makes them vulnerable are encouraged to register themselves on the government website. https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable
