CBI yesterday commented on reduction in self-isolation days for England.

Matthew Fell, CBI UK Chief policy director yesterday said:

“Firms are under the cosh dealing with mounting staff absences from self-isolation, so this move should have an almost immediate benefit.

“Businesses have been urging a reduction in the self-isolation period, providing health experts confirm it is safe, as a pragmatic change that will help keep the economy open as we adapt to live with the virus.”
