I've got symptoms/a positive test result, but my household won't isolate – what should I do?

Question:

I've got symptoms/a positive test result, but my household won't isolate – what should I do?

Answer:

The law requires that you must self-isolate if you have a positive test result or are contacted by the NHS Track and Trace Service and instructed to self-isolate, but you should also self-isolate if you or someone in your household has symptoms or a positive test result. This measure is necessary to control the virus and limit transmission as much as possible.

If someone in your household refuses to isolate, you can, if you wish, report this via the COVID-19 incident reporting form. Breaking government regualtions could lead to a fine, or disciplinary action from the university.
