COVID-19: Pilot schemes in England to help people to self-isolate to stop coronavirus spread

People living in overcrowded houses who have to self-isolate will be offered alternative accommodation under a new scheme.

The aim is to help people to follow the rules, which require a period of self-isolation for those who have tested positive for COVID-19 and those who have been in close contact with them.

Some £11.9m will be split between local authorities in nine areas of England to encourage people to get tested and to isolate when necessary.
