The Prime Minister's announcement that the legal rule to self-isolate could end this month has been branded as 'concerning' by Greater Manchester' public health leader.

England's remaining Covid restrictions, including the requirement to self-isolate for at least five full days following a positive test, could cease in a matter of days, according to Boris Johnson.

Last week, the Prime Minister told MPs that he expected the rules, currently due to expire on March 24, to end 'a full month early' as long as 'encouraging trends in the data continue'.

But Greater Manchester's lead director of public health is 'worried' by the Mr Johnson's suggestion that the removal of self-isolation could be imminent, calling for a full scientific breakdown of the implications of such a decision from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).
