Mandatory quarantine for virus carriers is abolished
Britain will lift the mandatory quarantine measure for citizens who test positive for Covid-19 from February 24, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said today.
“Until April 1, we will continue to advise citizens who test positive for coronavirus to stay home. But then we will encourage those with Covid-19 symptoms to take individual responsibility,” he added.
At the same time, he announced that the free mass sampling for the detection of coronavirus will stop, noting that there will be care for those who belong to the vulnerable groups of the population. “From April 1, when winter is over and the virus is less easily transmitted, we will stop free tests for the general public,” said Boris Johnson.
The British Prime Minister wished Queen Elizabeth a speedy recovery from Covid-19, emphasizing that her infection is a “reminder that the virus has not disappeared”.
