ITV News published this video item, entitled “Confusion as UK government U-turns over Covid ‘pings’ and self-isolation | ITV News” – below is their description.
Rethinks on coronavirus rules have been among the hallmarks of the Government’s handling of the pandemic right from the start.
Back then it was an unknown disease, but, 15 months on, the mixed messaging continues.
Twice in three days, there have been about-turns over self-isolation. First, involving the Prime Minister and the Chancellor – today it was the turn of the Business Minister.
This morning, Paul Scully said that when you’re pinged it’s up to you and your employer as to whether you stay of work. Not so, said Downing Street, isolating is crucial.
So once again, contradictions on Covid have ping-ponging back and forth at the heart of government.
