Self isolation period extended for those with symptoms of the virus or who have tested positive

Coronavirus is most infectious just before and for the first few days after symptoms begin.

The self-isolation period has been extended from 7 days to 10 days for those with coronavirus symptoms or who have tested positive for coronavirus.

If you’ve been in close contact with someone who tested positive you must self-isolate for 14 days

If you or someone you live with has coronavirus symptoms get a free test immediately.
