Hi, I’m not sure what group my husband comes under, we haven’t received a letter so I’m assuming he’s not high risk, he has a rare neurological desease called spino cerabella ataxia, I’ve been off work for four weeks and will be expected to return next week, I’m his sole carer and am worried like lots of others I will either get the virus from my work tesco or give it to him, I’m just confused some say we should be on a list but I don’t see it written down anywhere, hope you can help.

I don’t know if your husband would come under this category from the above list. I suggest you contact his G.P.
- People with rare diseases that significantly increase the risk of infections (such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), homozygous sickle cell).
