Boris Johnson signals early end to Covid self-isolation laws

Boris Johnson has signalled that laws requiring people in England with Covid-19 to self-isolate will be lifted within weeks.

The Prime Minister said he would present his plan for “living with Covid” when Parliament returns from a short recess on February 21.

And he indicated that as long as the data remained positive, the legal duty to self-isolate would be lifted a month earlier than planned.

At Prime Minister’s Questions he said: “It is my intention to return on the first day after the half-term recess to present our strategy for living with Covid.

“Provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue, it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions – including the legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive – a full month early.”
