Self-isolation

What is it?

Everyone who shows coronavirus (and/or cold and flu/ severe air borne viruses) symptoms – a fever of above 37.8C, a persistent cough or breathing problem – and everyone who lives in the same house or flat (apartment) as someone with symptoms.

  • If you live alone, you must stay at home for seven days from the day symptoms start
  • If you, or someone you live with, develop symptoms, the entire household needs to isolate for 14 days to monitor for signs of Covid-19.
  • If someone else does become ill during that period, their seven-day isolation starts that day. For example, it might run from day three to day 10 – when that person’s isolation would then end. It would not restart if another member of the household fell ill.
  • But anyone who fell ill on day 13 would see their seven-day isolation begin then – for their illness rather than to monitor for symptoms – meaning they would spend a total of 20 days at home
