Home isolation and community isolation are still covered by the NHSO in the event the attending physician deems the patient is best suited by such treatments. Dr Jadej said that wider vaccination of the public has resulted in a reduction in cases where home isolation is required. However, he insisted that the office would continue to cover costs related to home isolation if requested by a physician. Official figures released on Saturday showed that 12,365 people with Covid symptoms were currently being treated in home or community isolation, and another 23,867 in hospitals.
