Key workers WILL be exempt from isolation rules with list being drawn up, minister says

KEY workers are set to be exempt from the crippling Pingdemic self-isolation rules with a list of essential jobs being drawn up.

So far only NHS and social care staff have been exempted from the need to self-isolate after being 'pinged' for contact with a positive case. Ms Atkins said: "A list of such workers is being worked on. We have been listening, we do understand the implications that this is having." "The scientists will have to be calculating how many people equals risk in terms of spreading the virus around the country.

"It's important that anyone who feels they're in a critical industry or wants to raise potential issues because of isolation are able to contact departments and get advice and where necessary get exemptions." The Government has already announced some fully vaccinated workers like railway signallers and air traffic controllers can avoid self-isolation.

🤣🤣🤣 How can self isolation apply to one person and not another if we are in the midst of a 'Deadly Pandemic', the clever virus knows not to target people who do certain jobs, nurses no doubt will be exempt and they are more likely to spread it, just shows its all boll__ks

If someone who works for Timpson’s are they classed as a Key Worker 👍

keyworkers should not be put at risk solely at the decision of Conservatives politicians upon where they interact with other members of the public ? police fire ambulance crews nhs supermarkets the lot equally if need of isolation required should be taken protect one another

Delete the app, stop getting tested. If your ill stay home otherwise crack on. Just like in the old days
