Important Covid-19 Information
All patients with any form of pulmonary fibrosis and all people taking immunosuppressant medications for chronic lung disease have been classified as being at greater risk from Covid-19 and asked by the government to adopt shielding at home. For more information please follow the advice on:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19
You should receive a letter from the specialist centre looking after you with more details in the coming days. If you are under the care of the team at Southampton please contact via ILDClinical@uhs.nhs.uk rather than by telephone if possible. We will be monitoring phone messages but it may take longer than usual to get back to you.
Stay safe indoors!
