Our experts kindly allowed us to continue to record their answers to additional questions, following the end of the webinar.

Who should be shielding?

How long will shielding last for people with lymphoma?

What will lifting of restrictions mean for those still shielding?

What would a COVID-19 infection mean for someone with lymphoma?

Are people with lymphoma recovering from COVID-19 infections?

How can people keep well during shielding for people with lymphoma?

Services are being delivered differently now. Are there any lessons we have learnt that might continue in the future?
