Shielded getting out.
I fully understand the health importance of shielding, Can consideration be given for shielded people to walk down their path ,wearing gloves and mask, to their cars and go for a once a week VERY local drive.
This would also be on the proviso of NOT leaving your car.
The government could send to all shielded people a once a week text pass , similar to what they do in Cyprus , which if stopped by police could show the purpose of their journey.

Why the contribution is important
I am sure this would go a long way to relieve some of the emotional difficulties staying at home constantly brings.
This would also comply with car manufacturers recommendations of turning your car wheels once a fortnight during lockdown .

Even if there was an expectation that after the 12 weeks of shielding there would be 'light at the end of the tunnel' I'm sure it would help

Another idea maybe to allow them to meet other friends Or family who are in separate cars so they can see them and communicate through the telephone.

Also, those of them on the furlough scheme or any support scheme should be allowed to stay on it till they are allowed to return to work.
This is important because if the lockdown is lifted soon without any significant drop in the infection rates, the shielding group of people would be left more vulnerable.

I have to say tho the silver lining was the drive in the car there and then back! It made me feel like we had a tiny bit of freedom.
