NHS leaders have told GPs and dentists to continue following self-isolation guidance in practices despite the government lifting these restrictions.

Under new rules which came into force on August 16, people who share a household with someone who has contracted Covid-19 are no longer required to self-isolate if they are double vaccinated, under 18 and have no symptoms. 

But according to a report by the i paper, dentists, GPs and pharmacists have been ordered to keep the previous restrictions in place to prevent the spread of Covid.
