Boris Johnson has said scrapping requirements for people to self-isolate if they have Covid is a “moment of pride” as he prepares to remove restrictions that have been in place since the start of the pandemic.
The prime minister’s cabinet is expected to confirm the policy change today, which will make it legal for people to mix with other members of the public, such as getting on a crowded train, while having the virus for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
MPs will be updated on the decision in the House of Commons in the afternoon, with a general press conference expected to follow for the wider public. Mr Johnson said the proposal would be about “finally giving people back their freedom” after “one of the most diffiult periods in our country’s history”.
