Managing clinically extremely vulnerable patients under new restrictions

On 2 November, NHS England wrote to GPs following the Government’s announcement of new national restrictions to help control the spread of Covid-19, from 5 November. The message stated that the advice and support for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) has been updated alongside the new national restrictions: GPs have new actions to take in light of the changes.
