# UK Government wants to end isolation rules a month early, at the end of February
The UK Government wants to end isolation rules a month early, at the end of February.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson started today’s Prime Minister’s Questions in the UK Parliament by saying he will soon announce a strategy for living with Covid.
He says his government intends to end the last restrictions, including isolating requirements, a full month early. That means the current rules in the UK will expire shortly after MPs return from the recess on the 21st of February.
Mr Johnson said: "Providing the current encouraging trends in the data continue, it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions, including the legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive, a full month early".
The Prime Minister’s Office later clarified that it would not recommend anyone go to work when they have coronavirus, in the same way as they would never recommend anyone goes to work when they have any other infectious disease.
