- was set up as part of the government’s response to coronavirus </span><span style="font-weight: 400">to provide support for clinically extremely vulnerable people who were advised to stay at home in England, otherwise known as “shielding”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Between 23 March to 30 July 2020, the VPS facilitated more than 4.2 million deliveries of essential supplies (including food and medicine), enabled citizens to access support for basic health and care needs while shielding, and provided priority supermarket deliveries.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:
