Good evening, Today the Prime Minister has indicated that laws requiring people in England with Covid-19 to self-isolate will be lifted within weeks.
Boris Johnson said he will present his plan for “living with Covid” when Parliament returns from a short recess on February 21.
Too soon - or about time?
However, the PM’s official spokesman clarified in a briefing with journalists that Downing Street would not recommend people go to work if they test positive for Covid.
I’m pretty sure that’s a given. Most of us know somebody who has or recently had Covid in recent weeks and many of them have been distinctly unwell - certainly too unwell to go to work.
The news comes as the origins of the virus responsible for Covid-19 have been “unambiguously” traced to horseshoe bats, according to a new study.
However, scientists said that “dramatically more wildlife sampling” is needed to pinpoint the creature that ultimately passed the virus to humans and warned that there is “undoubtedly” a virus highly related to SARS-CoV-2 still present somewhere in the wild. Scary stuff - but then nothing surprises us these days!
