Petition Details

Allow all asthmatics to get either a text or letter advised him them to stay home for 12 weeks

Additional Information

I myself have asthma and have heard from a lot of others in the same boat as me, that have not received a letter asking them to shield them selfs for 12 weeks even though the asthma uk web site is telling us to. A Doctor have told me that it doesn’t matter what inhalers you are on, it only matters if you have been hospitalised within the past year, but the asthma uk web site has different information
