On Friday, Covid-19 guidance in England changed with the Government telling people who have a cough or cold to 'stay home and avoid contact with other people'.

The legal requirement to self-isolate after a positive Covid-19 test in England ended on February 24.

Free coronavirus tests also came to an end and will only be available to certain groups, including those working in the NHS and patients in hospitals and hospices.
