George Eustice says new rule for food sector will not extend to other areas, despite industry concerns
Exemptions enabling more than 10,000 people in England’s food sector to avoid self-isolation will not be extended to other sectors, a minister has said, despite industry concerns that “cumbersome” new rules will cause confusion.
The current wave of the pandemic sweeping across Britain was also likely to get worse before it gets better, said George Eustice, the environment secretary, who added that the government was “most worried” about when the two- to three-week lag in hospitalisations kicked in after infections.
