Until the remaining Covid measures are reviewed when parliament returns from recess on 21 February, people who develop Covid symptoms or test positive must self-isolate for 10 days (or five full days following two consecutive negative lateral flow tests).

Other measure still remain in some circumstances:

  • face coverings are still required in health and care settings, including hospitals, GP surgeries and pharmacies

  • Transport for London and some shops ask people to continue to wear face coverings

  • local authorities can recommend face coverings in the communal areas of schools if considered necessary

  • care homes no longer have a mandated limit on the number of visitors, but you should still contact the care home before you visit to check their individual requirements

  • venues can choose to ask people to show an NHS Covid pass.
