Living With Coronavirus: People In England Will No Longer Have To Self Isolate If They Test Positive
England is taking a ‘live with it’ approach when it comes to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and those who test positive for the virus will no longer have to self-isolate.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that we need to ‘live with the virus.’
“COVID will not suddenly disappear, and we need to learn to live with this virus and continue to protect ourselves without restricting our freedoms.”
“We’ve built up strong protections against this virus over the past two years through the vaccine rollouts, tests, new treatments, and the best scientific understanding of what this virus can do.

“Thanks to our successful vaccination program and the sheer magnitude of people who have come forward to be jabbed we are now in a position to set out our plan for living with COVID,” he added.
Sky News reports that the current restrictions would end on March 24 and it means that people can go to work if they have COVID, however, the Prime Minister did add that “there would be guidance, that would not be what we are recommending”.
