Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said that people who have covid symptoms should ‘socialise a bit less’. Mr Javid was speaking as Covid levels soared with 11,500 people in English hospitals having tested positive for Covid-19.
With the end of restrictions decisions as to how to react to testing positive or having symptoms have been left to the individual. Sajid Javid was asked on Good Morning Britain what people should do - and he replied they should “socialise a bit less, stay indoors and and wait till (they) feel better”.
The Health Secretary added that people with symptoms of the virus should “behave sensibly” but he said that it would be down to the individual to decide whether or not to take a test. On the end of free testing for all adults in England from April 1, Mr Javid told Times Radio: “They’re still free, but from April 1, they won’t be in terms of a universal offer - from that point we will focus our tests on those that are most vulnerable or in vulnerable settings.
