When to self-isolate

You must self-isolate immediately if:


If you think you've been in contact with someone who has coronavirus, but you do not have symptoms and have not been told to self-isolate, continue to follow social distancing advice.

If you live with someone who has been asked to self-isolate but is not showing symptoms you do not need to self-isolate.


How long to self-isolate

If you have symptoms or have tested positive for coronavirus, you'll usually need to self-isolate for at least 10 days.

You'll usually need to self-isolate for 14 days if:

  • someone you live with has symptoms or tested positive
  • someone in your support bubble has symptoms or tested positive
  • you've been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace


Please remember you only need to go for a test if you develop symptoms, you do not have to go for a test if someone in your family has tested positive.

Please make sure you call the contact centre on 01727 737000 if: 

  • You need to self-isolate
  • You are required to take a test
  • You need to report the outcome of your test.
