The Government’s plan for “living with Covid” in England has been met with a cautious welcome from businesses in the South West.
People who test positive for coronavirus will no longer be legally required to isolate from Thursday (February 24), and free universal testing will end in April, as part of a strategy Prime Minister Boris Johnson detailed to MPs on Monday (February 21).
Those who receive a positive Covid-19 test will still be advised to stay at home for at least five days, but will not be obliged to under law under the plans, which are subject to parliamentary approval.
