The Law Society Gazette reports that:
“Lawyers who test positive for Covid-19 can have exemptions from latest regulations imposing a new legal duty to self-isolate, the Ministry of Justice confirmed today.
Health protection regulations which came into force on Monday state that people who test positive for Covid-19 or have had close contact with someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus after 28 September must self-isolate.
However, a person can come out of self-isolation ‘to fulfil a legal obligation, including attending court or satisfying bail conditions, or participating in legal proceedings’.”
