Coronavirus live: Boris Johnson will not isolate despite contact; two athletes test positive in Tokyo Olympic Village

There will be parents across the country who have struggled this year when their children have been sent home because they were in a bubble and had to self-isolate.

There will be workers across the country that have to isolate because they’ve been pinged, including in public services, including the NHS.

For many of them, waking up this morning to hear that there is a special rule, an exclusive rule, for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, they will be saying that this looks like one rule for them and something else for the rest of us.

This looks like one rule for them and something else for the rest of us. Nobody understands how you can get access to this special VIP treatment where you don’t have to isolate yourself.

If it is a pilot, why can’t employers apply for their workforce to be members of this pilot? Why can’t schools apply to be part of this pilot test? I really do think a lot of people are going to be looking at this and thinking, What on earth is going on?
