Will self isolation end once all adults have been offered 2 doses?

Surely it can’t carry on forever, so will this be when it ends?

I do think that isolation should not be required if you are fully vaccinated and can show a negative test result.

I don't care about the reopening stuff, holidays, going out, I just want my DC to be in school if they are fit and well and not infectious.

Why sit at home for 10 days and miss school because of a positive test in one or two people in a yeargroup of hundreds of people that may never be in the same classroom as your DC?

If people can cram into an airport or restaurant without even having vaccination proof or a negative test result, why is the burden so high on school pupils?

And as for university students still doing on-line learning in September?

The USA and Europe will be vaccinating everyone over 12 years of age. The UK is going to fall behind in the vaccine rate and it is the unvaccinated young people who will be denied freedoms and be stuck at home.

Self-isolation for symptoms + positive test should remain.

Self isolation of contacts who are fully vaccinated should depend on longer-term results of infection, and infectivity, of the fully vaccinated.

Self-isolation of non-vaccinated contacts should continue, and this should include children until long term studies indicate that it is acceptable for a vaccinated adult to be in close contact with very high numbers of potentially infectious teenagers even when levels of circulating virus in that group is very high.
