Vulnerable groups
If you are medically extremely vulnerable you or somebody on your behalf can register you online at www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable with your NHS number to get government support..
People at the highest risk of severe illness from coronavirus and extremely vulnerable residents can call Tower Hamlets Council on 020 7364 3030 Monday – Friday (8am - 8pm), Saturday (10am - 5pm) and Sunday (10am - 4pm) to get help. The line can also be used to discuss any concerns around social isolation and help people may need with food supplies, access to medication or worries about debt, for example. The phoneline should also be used by other vulnerable residents that need help during this difficult time, including the very elderly, people with disabilities or those self-isolating with underlying health conditions.
All other residents who are not classed as being at the highest risk of severe illness from coronavirus or who are not extremely vulnerable, should fill in this online form: forms.towerhamlets.gov.uk/service/COVID_19_Self_Isolation_Support_Request
