British health authorities will soon ask people with minor flu-like symptoms to self-isolate to combat coronavirus
U.K. health authorities will soon ask people with minor flu or cold-like symptoms to self-isolate for a week to help slow the spread of coronavirus, England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said Monday.
“We are now very close to the time … when the modelling would imply we should move to a situation where we say everybody who has even minor respiratory tract infections or a fever should be self-isolating for seven days afterwards,” Whitty said. Johnson said ministers were “doing everything we can to combat this outbreak.” Responding to criticisms that his government has not been as aggressive as other countries in its response, he said that other countries’ experience “doesn’t necessarily mirror what’s happening here,” and emphasized the importance of timing public health interventions effectively.
“Once you’ve started these things you’ll have to continue them through the peak,” he said. “There is a risk that if we go too early people will understandably get fatigued.”
