Covid today Gb, towards quarantine reduction for vaccinated

In the United Kingdom, we are moving towards a reduction in the quarantine period for vaccinated people who test positive for Covid-19. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed this as pressure from Conservative MPs grows to reduce isolation from the current seven days to five. In England, positives can currently end isolation if they test negative on the sixth and seventh days of quarantine, with the test performed within 24 hours of each other. Johnson, local media reported, then underlined the “great progress” made in the fight against omicron, while acknowledging that the variant remains “incredibly contagious” and that the number of people hospitalized is “on the rise”. He also said that the third dose of the vaccine has been given to 36 million people so far.
