2 DAYS AGO - Update from NHS E/I
Some UK providers such as high street pharmacies and private healthcare providers offer COVID-19 antibody testing for members of the public.
The test involves taking a fingerprick blood sample. The laboratory tests are CE marked and safe for use on blood drawn from the vein by a healthcare professional, but have not yet been validated by the manufacturer of the test to be used with a fingerprick blood sample.
It’s very important for people at home to be able to understand the reliability of the result and what it means for them. A positive result may not mean a person is immune or if they demonstrate immunity now, or how long this will last.
The Government strongly advises members of the public or organisations who have purchased these tests and received antibody results to continue to follow the Government’s advice whatever the result of the test. The Government is contacting providers of the antibody testing services and the laboratories running Collapse

1 DAY AGO - The UK Government has just updated its guidance for vulnerable people who are shielding, which now takes into account that COVID-19 disease levels are substantially lower than when shielding was initially introduced.
Any people who are shielding in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin remain vulnerable and should continue to take precautions, but the updated guidance from the Government says they can now leave their home if they wish, as long as they maintain strict social distancing.
Those shielding can now choose to spend time outdoors, this can be with members of their own household. Or if they live alone, they can spend time outdoors with one person from another household, though ideally, this should be the same person each time. If they do go out, they should take extra care to minimise contact with others by keeping two metres apart.
Dr Julian Povey, Chair of NHS Shropshire, CCG comments: “Whilst it is encouraging that we are starting to see lower levels of COVID-19 nationally, I Collapse
