British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office said on Saturday that Johnson intends to unveil plans this week to eliminate the need to self-isolate for people infected with the “Covid-19” virus.
Britain will become the first major European country to allow people known to have Covid-19 to use shops and public transport and go to work freely, in a move many of his health advisers see as risky.
Johnson said: “Covid-19 will not suddenly disappear and we must learn to live with this virus and continue to protect ourselves without imposing restrictions on our freedoms.”
Johnson will also provide more detail on how to protect Britain from future strains of the “Corona” virus through continuous monitoring, amid reports that the government wants to end free testing and reduce public health studies.
Laws in England currently require people to isolate themselves for at least five days if public health officials ask them to do so, and they are advised to isolate if they have symptoms of “Corona” or if tests confirm that they have the disease.
Abolishing the legal requirement to self-isolate for Covid-19 patients and replacing it with voluntary guidelines would bring the disease into line with the way Britain treats most other infections. About 85 percent of Britain’s population aged 12 or older received at least two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, and two-thirds of the population received three doses, including the vast majority of people most at risk.
