Double-jabbed Brits who come into contact with someone infected with coronavirus may soon be spared 10 days of self-isolating under new proposed plans.
‘We’re going to have to live alongside it, means we are going to have infections in future, so being a contact of someone infected will always be a possibility.’
When asked if she thinks the change could be the government’s way of getting out of financially supporting those who are self-isolating, Prof Bauld conceded this ‘could be part of it’. ‘I hadn’t actually thought of it that way to be perfectly frank, is this a sort of a reason not to support self-isolation? that may be part of it,’ she said.
‘We know that the vaccine, particularly after two doses, is highly effective at stopping you from getting seriously ill, 20 times less likely to end up in hospital,’ he said.
