Whilst in England
The current UK strategy for living with Covid-19 was announced by the British Prime Minister on 21st February 2022 in a statement to the House of Commons. From 24th February 2022, it is no longer a legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for Covid-19. The Prime Minister said “Until 1 April, we will still advise people who test positive to stay at home. But after that, we will encourage people with Covid-19 symptoms to exercise personal responsibility, just as we encourage people who may have flu to be considerate to others.”
(Note that the conference will be held in England. Different Covid-19 rules may be in effect in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.)
