Government guidance on coronavirus and businesses

COVID-19 remains a risk. It is still possible to catch and spread COVID-19, even if you are fully vaccinated.

The government has made changes to restrictions:

  • You are not legally required to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19. People are advised to self-isolate if they test positive.
  • You are not legally required to self-isolate if you are an unvaccinated close contact of someone who has COVID-19, and will no longer be advised to test for seven days if you are a fully vaccinated close contact.
