This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The NHS, not the Government or House of Commons, is responsible for determining who is clinically extremely vulnerable to Covid-19, and therefore advised to shield.

We have published a petition calling for the Government to extend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to cover all pregnant women, to enable them to reduce risks to themselves and their baby: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/317884
