PMQs: As it happened - BBC News
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer challenged Boris Johnson on financial support for people who need to self-isolate.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Labour leader Kier Starmer said: “around three in ten people who should be self-isolating aren’t doing so.”

On Monday, he repeated this claim but said the opposite – that only three in ten people were self-isolating fully.

This latter claim is supported by data released by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which advises the government on the pandemic.

It said that just 29% of people who had symptoms of coronavirus were full adhering to self-isolation rules. It described this as “sub optimal”.

It’s difficult to get a precise figure on the amount of people who do self-isolate because they are generally based on surveys.

However, most of these surveys suggest the majority of people do not adhere to the full ten-day isolation period.

The government has said that £500 payments are available to support those who might face financial difficulties whilst self-isolating.

Again, there is no publicly-available data on this, but freedom of information requests to local councils have shown that the majority of people who apply are rejected due to the tough eligibility criteria.
