‘Swiftly putting in place a much more universal and generous system will make a real difference to controlling the spread of the virus.’
A Government source suggested it was just one of many options being discussed as part of improving stay-at-home compliance for those who had tested positive.A DHSC spokesman said: ‘We are in one of the toughest moments of this pandemic and it is incumbent on all of us to help protect the NHS by staying at home and following the rules.
‘All local authority costs for administering the Test and Trace support payment scheme are covered by the Government, and each authority is empowered to make discretionary payments outside of the scheme. This has prompted a group of 70 Tory MPs to demand the Prime Minister publish a timetable for lifting measures by the beginning of March.The Covid Recovery Group’s chairman Mark Harper added: ‘People must see light at the end of the tunnel and feel hope for the future and businesses need to be able to plan our recovery.’

Tyranny has its incentives
More bull. Why are some people so stupid! Stay home. Wear masks. Not hard to understand is it really, They should be fined for not having a bloody brain!
We cant give a pay rise to nurses/doctors but we can bribe people to stay home as we cba to enforce the laws.
Are they actively trying to persuade all of us to CATCH covid?
But like every other promise 2 come out of the Tories mouth your never get the payment- 11months on small businesses and self employed ppl struggling to pay Bill's and eat with ZERO financial support frm goverment- report that! That's actually happening! ExcludedUK ForgottenLtd
snitching on relatives didnt work so now come up with things like this lol
Stupid idea as always
Is that the government's way of saying, 'Please, pretty please, stay home'? They need to strap on a pair, stop giving contradictory and confusing advice and tell the people, in no uncertain terms, to: 'Stay home, or else!'
Only this incompetent government would have to bribe its citizens. This will result in an incentive to catch Covid.
But it’s not anyone is it! Another inaccurate headline.
No seriously what’s wrong with theses clueless politicians Do they really think that given 500 quid to a person ,will make a person stay in 😂😂😂😂 Number10press
Incentive for some to catch it.....
As tax payers, we can not afford this on top of furlough, business bail outs, etc!
this doesn’t even make sense
Stay home with horrible disease, get £500, you mean. Don't paint this as some dream payout.
