Police officers in the UK now have the power to check if people are self-isolating when told to do so.
The UK government's Department of Health and Social Care has agreed to provide the National Police Chiefs Council with information on individuals who have been told to isolate on a "case-by-case basis,"People in the UK who test positive for the coronavirus are required by law to self-isolate for 10 days after first displaying symptoms, or for 10 days after getting their result if they are asymptomatic. Members of their household are required to self-isolate for two weeks.
A spokesperson for the department told Sky News: "It is a legal requirement for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and their close contacts to self-isolate when formally notified to do so. "The memorandum of understanding ensures that information is shared with appropriate safeguards and in accordance with the law. No testing or health data is shared in this process."
