Am I vulnerable?
Hi I’m full of anxiety today after the government announcement as I don’t know if I come under high risk or not. I’m asthmatic. Take Symbicort 160/4.5 two puffs twice a day, have salbutamol to take when needed and take fexofenadine antihistamines 120mg. I keep trying to stop worrying but I’m a teacher. Currently working from home. But I’m in a vulnerable school so don’t know what to do.
