Increase in self isolation period to contain the virus from spiking – Covid-19

The UK Chief Medical Officers have increased the self-isolation period from 7 to 10 days if you have tested positive for the Coronavirus.
Evidence, although still limited, has strengthened and shows that people with COVID-19 who are mildly ill and are recovering have a low but real possibility of infectiousness between 7 and 9 days after illness onset.
