Coronavirus: Experts question UK self-isolation advice A group of 25 doctors have written to the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, because they are concerned about the UK's current advice on self-isolation for coronavirus.
The guidance says people should stay at home and avoid contact with others for seven days if they develop symptoms.
After that, self-isolation can end - if they feel well and do not have a fever.
But World Health Organization advice says people should self-isolate for 14 days after symptoms have cleared. BBC News
