Boris Johnson is drawing up plans to fine people who breach self-isolation rules amid mounting concern that Britain is facing a second wave of coronavirus.

The prime minister is considering enforcing the measure after evidence suggested that people were routinely ignoring advice and leaving their homes.

The move, described as a realistic next step, would be part of a “carrot and stick” approach in which people could also be given bigger payments while they were isolating.

The approach is likely to mirror quarantine measures for those returning from holidays, which require isolation for 14 days.
Police can issue fines of up to £1,000 for breaching quarantine, although the powers have barely been used. Only 34 people have been fined since the measures were introduced.

I wondered if any of you would report Covid rule breakers? I personally wouldn’t but Iknow there are many of my friends who would.
