Out of more than 1,300 people who tested positive before the legal requirement to self isolate was lifted, only 64% said they were in quarantine to avoid spreading the disease, according to the Office for National Statistics

Of those who did not fully follow the advice to self-isolate, 94% reported leaving the house for a non-compliant reason.The majority of respondents to the latest survey who were in work full time, part time, or unpaid, or receiving sick pay or unpaid leave from work, reported that their employer was aware they were advised to self-isolate - despite the removal of the obligation to inform employers.

"Compliance with self-isolation rules was significantly lower than the level reported in February 2022, when self-isolation was a legal requirement. Despite this, we are seeing that almost all respondents agreed that it was important to follow self-isolation advice."
