Keep the mandatory 5 day self isolation for those who test positive for Covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Keep the mandatory 5 day self isolation rule for those who have symptoms of Covid-19 and/or test positive for Covid-19.
The 5 day isolation currently in place helps to reduce the number of people with Covid-19 infecting others. This is common sense and protects the vulnerable. It also reduces the risk of our NHS from becoming overwhelmed.
