If you have a cold, you should 'stay home' say Government in latest coronavirus guidance

People across England who are currently suffering from a cough or cold-like symptoms will be urged to 'stay at home' when the newest Covid-19 guidance is released by the Government on April 1.

Under new guidelines, those with respiratory ailments such as high temperature or a general lack of feeling in wellness will be encouraged to stay in the house until they feel better, or their temperature dissipates. However, the legal requirement to self-isolate following a positive coronavirus test in England will not be reintroduced since its cessation on February 24, Wales Online reports.

And despite the legal requirement being lifted, those who do test positive for the virus will be asked to try their best to stay at home, avoiding people for five days - as this is the period in which people are most at risk of spreading the virus.
