I wouldn't go that far.
But I would suggest that they should avoid crowded areas, or places where ventilation isn't good, or where distancing isn't possible.
I do think it's difficult in the current situation to suggest what the best thing to do is for the minority who can't get vaccinated or for whom the vaccine won't work. It's trickier when you consider those who aren't at risk or for whom vaccines do work have had enough suffering due to restrictions which really don't protect them an awful lot, and on sectors where restrictions have and still do hamper their activities.
This is what I mean when I mention before that the medics will want people to stay at home, distance, mask etc but not necessarily the effect on other things is always considered. Even Chris Whitty who is an intelligent chap and has studied economics is primarily a doctor so going to consider those aspects first.
