From Thursday:

Self-isolation law axed

People will still be advised to stay at home if positive

Vaccinated contacts and under-18s no longer have to test for seven days

Requirement for non-vaccinated contacts to isolate dropped.

End to routine contact tracing

End to self-isolation payments

End to legal obligation for people to tell employers when they self-isolate

From March 24:

Enhanced statutory sick pay removed so people can only claim from day four.

From April 1: 

Free universal symptomatic and asymptomatic channels will end for general public.

Elderly and vulnerable will still have access to provision, with UKHSA deciding later how it is allocated.

Surveillance by the ONS and other bodies will continue to detect threats from variants.
