Don't scrap mandatory self-isolation, for if you have covid.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

I've heard that you want to scrap the mandatory self-isolation, for if you have covid, and I don't want this to happen.
This is a bad idea because there are still so many cases in England. Just last week, 16 people that I know, got infected by coronavirus. People still need to isolate because if you don't isolate when infected,then you might pass it on to vulnerable people which could seriously harm them. I know people want to go back to normal and how it use to be, but as a country we are just not ready for that yet.

Australia shut down all planes to stop people getting into the country, they now go into full lockdown when just a single case has been found. England's uprise of cases could have been prevented if we acted quicker like australia did.
