Britain will remove the legal requirement to self isolate following a positive COVID-19 test from 24th February, as part of "living with COVID" plan, Reuters quoted Prime Minister Boris Johnson as saying on Monday.

"We will remove all remaining domestic restrictions in law. From this Thursday, the 24th of February, we will end the legal requirement to self isolate following a positive test," Johnson told parliament.

"Until 1st April we will still advise people who test positive to stay at home. But after that, we will encourage people with COVID-19 symptoms to exercise personal responsibility."
