Boris Johnson urged to relax 10-day quarantine rules now and not wait until August 16
Boris Johnson has been urged by senior Tories to relax 10-day quarantine rules now and not wait until August 16But former government chief whip Mark Harper said: “People are finding out that the removal of restrictions on Monday will be meaningless if they are then told to isolate despite being vaccinated and not having Covid.are sensible and reflect the reduced risk if fully vaccinated — but they need to be brought forward to now.
Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: “Anyone who has had two jabs shouldn’t need to isolate — and nor should those who have had one vaccine dose and tested negative.NHS chiefs warned of a staff crisis, with up to one in four junior doctors being told to isolate via the app in some hospitals — and there are calls for exemptions for those in these roles.
said: “I certainly think we should remove the requirement for clinical staff in the NHS to isolate, if they have had a negative PCR test.”Mr Hunt added the NHS dashboard warning light would be “flashing red” if cases continue to rise — with a possibility of lockdown conditions being reimposed. He said: “Covid hospital patients are doubling every two weeks. That means we are heading for 10,000 Covid hospital patients by the end of August, 20 times higher than this time last year. It is a serious situation.
