COVID NHS and Government Information

COVID NHS and Government Information

In this section, you will find information and links from the NHS about COVID, including information in a range of languages, explaining COVID to children, shielding, high-risk and moderate-risk groups, and more. 

Guidance on Self Isolating (updated 22 December 2021)

Guidance on when to self-isolate changed on 22 December 2021 (and previously on 15 December and 16 August 2021). You can read the latest NHS self isolation guidance here 

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/

If you do need to self isolate, the self isolation period is 10 days. On 22 December 2021, the Government announced that this reduces to 7 days if you have a negative LFD test on day 6 and 7. 

You can find NHS information about that on the link below. It is still a legal requirement to self-isolate if you are told to by NHS Test and Trace. You could be fined if you do not self-isolate.
