Medical expiration date relief?

[Spam Up]

Bit of a panic !

Hello All,

I had managed to secure a job in this current climate just before all the UK lockdown, my medical class 1 certificate needs to be renewed as it expired on 23/03............

Yup ! exactly on the date specified on the CAA web site for exemption,

"To take advantage of the exemption, the medical certificates or cabin crew medical reports must have been valid on the 23 March"
but also in same section
"This means that medical certificate holders who expired before this date without revalidating their certificate cannot use this exemption and will have to have a renewal medical to exercise licence privileges"

So does the medical expire at midnight on the 23rd, or midnight of the 22nd. ( Been advised `I should be ok as my medical is valid until midnight on the 23rd, but Id still like to hear it from the horses mouth )

My ME tells me the CAA have said in no uncertain terms that Medical Examinations are NOT to be performed at this time, so I take it that its impossible to have a medical or does anyone know if there are medicals being carried out in the UK now ??

Looking like I will be going for sim sometime mid May and will need my medical or confirmation that it extended.

Am I screwed or what ?
