Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s officials are said to be looking at cutting the self-isolation period from 14 days to seven amid worries people aren’t complying with the rules

The Government is considering reducing the Test and Trace self-isolation period to seven days, a report has claimed.

Currently, contacts of infected people traced by the NHS are ordered to isolate for 14 days to curb the spread of Coronavirus.

However officials on Boris Johnson’s taskforce are considering halving the length to one week due to worries about poor compliance, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The move is reportedly being considered due to Tory dissatisfaction over the effectiveness of the contact-tracing service.

It follows worries over official data suggesting too few people were being contacted by the service.
