Chief medical officers from the UK have announced that the mandatory self-isolation time has been extended to people suffering from Covid-19 symptoms. The duration was increased from one week up to 10 days in a matter of minutes. This is not good.

It’s really making me angry. I am very depressed.

Patients who exhibit symptoms of the disease, such as an illness that causes a fever, a constant cough or loss of taste or smell – were told to remain at home and be quarantined for seven days.

Following a new assessment of the latest scientific evidence, this time frame will be extended by three days in accordance with the new guidelines.

HuffPost UK understands that there was no alteration in the evidence that caused the change, but the medical officers took the decision to act while prevalence was low and want to prepare the country for another spike that could occur in the autumn or winter.
