The "Sunday Times" newspaper quoted British government officials as saying that the United Kingdom intends to reduce the period of self-isolation, to limit it to only one week for people in contact who live with people infected with the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19), in order to encourage more citizens to follow the rules .

And Bloomberg News reported that the new rules, which may come into effect within two weeks, will reduce the isolation period to 10 days as a maximum, provided that the preferred period is one week.

The UK is currently requiring those who have interacted with people who have tested positive for the disease to self-isolate for two weeks, with fines of up to 10,000 pounds ($ 13,000) imposed for non-compliance with the rules.

The total number of confirmed cases of the new Corona virus in the United Kingdom reached 857 thousand and 43 cases as of yesterday, while the total number of deaths in the country due to infection with the virus reached 44 thousand and 835 cases.

Thousands of people in the British capital, London, demonstrated the day before yesterday, in protest against measures to confront "Corona", and a number of them clashed with the police.

A fine for non-compliance is up to £ 10,000.
