Nadhim Zahawi says cutting self-isolation period to five days ‘would certainly help’

The Education Secretary has become the first Cabinet minister to publicly back calls for the self-isolation period to be reduced from seven days to five.

Nadhim Zahawi said he was happy to be led by the recommendation of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Such a move could help to secure the return of hundreds of teachers to the classroom as schools continue to battle with high levels of staff shortages.
