Covid-19: Isolation changes for NHS staff, and a hunt for the pandemic s origin
Published
1. Fully jabbed NHS staff may not have to isolate
Ministers are considering exempting fully vaccinated NHS staff in England from having to self-isolate if they are traced as a Covid contact. Health bosses have been urging the government to change the rules amid fears of staff shortages - but sources said no decision had been taken and ministers wanted to see evidence the move would be safe. If it goes ahead, self-isolation would be replaced with daily tests from 19 July, when wider curbs are eased. The idea echoes a similar policy that would apply to all fully vaccinated people and children in England from 16 August. You can read more about the self-isolation rules here.
