People in Gedling borough who test positive for coronavirus or show symptoms in the UK must now self-isolate for at least 10 days, rather than seven.
The change, announced by the UK’s chief medical officers, is part of plans to help avoid a resurgence of the virus.
Those showing key symptoms – a new continuous cough, a temperature or loss of taste or smell – had previously been told to isolate for seven days.
