Extend Coronavirus support for the vulnerable to those not currently supported

What the petition asks
The Government has put in place arrangements to support people who are classed as clinically extremely vulnerable, but this does not support many disabled people who may live on their own, have mobility issues, and have limited ability to meet their own needs.
Some people might have mobility issues and a low immune system but not qualify for support, while others who are better able to meet their own needs will be eligible. The Government needs to review who is eligible for this support, and ensure this covers everyone who is not able to meet their own needs.
