Those who have come into contact with someone with COVID-19 will still have to stay at home for the same period - 14 days.

The decision has sparked outrage among Britons already on holiday there and across the country's tourism industry.

But the PM has cautioned there are already signs of a potential second wave in Europe, with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who is beginning his fortnight at home after returning from Spain, adding:"We had to act when we did." The move to increase symptomatic people's self-isolation could be down to health leaders' concerns of a second spike heading for the UK.NHS Confederation chief executive Niall Dickson said another wave, along with"exhausted staff" while the health service tries to rebuild services, could prove"challenging".

He told the All-Party Parliamentary Group on coronavirus:"I would say in relation to the second spike issue or something coming, the levels of concern among our members - the people who are leading NHS trusts, who are leading in primary care and all levels in the systems - is very high. "There's real concern about winter and the compounding factors there, but also about an earlier spike."

About time we referred to the self isolation period as the *spread prevention period*. It is not about self protection, it is about protecting others.

So that will mean 9 days in Scotland and 15 in Wales.

All one big fckin Scamdemic ,and more and more people are waking up and seeing through the MSM Propoganda BS.
