PHE’s chief coronavirus adviser says exemption from self-isolation could allow people to travel more freely
The UK is moving towards a situation where those who have been double-vaccinated could be exempt from quarantine, Public Health England’s chief Covid-19 adviser has said.
Dr Susan Hopkins, one of the key government advisers on the response to the pandemic, said a decision would be made after the results of a major study that uses daily lateral flow tests as an alternative to isolation for 10 days after coming into contact with a positive case.
