I am guessing the OP meant they were shielding rather then actually having it. Depending on why they were shiedling may have a case for disability discrimination.

The OP said, "I received a letter of the NHS stating I had to self isolate until 30th June ". Their COPD status would be a reason for the advice.sharpe106 said:I am guessing the OP meant they were shielding rather then actually having it.

What don't you see as being true? That the COPD is a permanent condition or that there could be a case of disability discrimination?0 -
I read the post as saying if you had COVID you would be classed as being disabled and thus being fired for having COVID was a case of disability discrimination.General_Grant said:JReacher1 said:
