This helpline is for those who do not have a network of support, but who are at high risk if they contract COVID-19.

It is not for people who have received letters asking them to shield themselves.

It is for anyone who:

  • cannot get online
  • is over 70
  • disabled
  • requires the support of mental health services
  • is pregnant
  • receives a flu jab for health reasons

The call will be redirected to a local help centre.
