LONDON: The British government has confirmed that people who are fully vaccinated or under the age of 18 will no longer be required by law to isolate themselves for 10 days if they are identified as close contact of the positive Covid-19 case.
New rules, which come into force since Monday, even will require close contact of the positive Covid-19 cases to get free PCR tests as soon as possible and isolate themselves if there is a positive test.
The government has announced plans last month and confirmed this week when official figures showed that 75 percent of people have now received a dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
“Getting two doses of vaccines has tipped our chances and allows us to safely reclaim our lost freedom, and from Monday we can take a big step back to our normal life by eliminating the requirements of self isolation for people’s double jabics contacts People with Covid-19.
Double Jabic People who test positively still need insulation themselves, “said Secretary of Health UK Sajid Javid.
“Vaccines are what will bring this pandemic to the end – the defense wall provided by the launch allows us to get closer to normal life,” he said.
Under the current rules, critical workers are permitted to leave self isolation to ensure vital services continue.
But the changes that will be introduced from Monday will mean that the contact that is fully vaccinated will routinely attend work if they do not have symptoms.
“Thanks to the great success of the vaccine program, we can relieve self-insulation requirements for double Jabik people and under the 18s.
It is important that close contact continues to advance for PCR tests, to detect viruses and detect viruses and variants that become concerned,” said Dr.
Jenny Harries, Head of the British Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
“Although two vaccine doses will greatly reduce your own risk of being unhealthy with Covid-19, it is still possible to sign a virus and forward it to others.
So, if you develop symptoms anytime – you have to get the test and be very careful in contact.
You are with other people until you receive a negative test results, “he said.
The latest data from the Public Health England (PHE) and Cambridge University show that around 60,000 deaths, 22 million infections and 66,900 hospitalizations have been prevented by vaccines.
Meanwhile, the latest English Daily Coronavirus data on Thursday recorded 33,074 new infections and 94 deaths in a 24-hour period, compared with 29,612 new cases and 104 deaths reported on Wednesday.
