BORIS Johnson has announced new freedoms as he declared the end of lockdown rules from July 19. <\/p>\n

Although it was not included in the six freedoms that were announced, Sajid Javid is set to reveal new self-isolation rules for the double-jabbed.<\/p>\n

Do I have to self-isolate if I have been vaccinated?<\/h2>\n

Currently, anyone alerted by Test and Trace that they have been near someone who has tested positive must \u2014 by law \u2014 isolate at home.<\/p>\n

The Health Secretary told BBC Breakfast there would be a change in the rules for double-jabbed Brits.<\/p>\n

He is expected to will make a statement to the House of Commons at around 12.30 pm today. <\/p>\n

He said: "What I can tell you at this point is we will have a more proportionate system of test, trace and isolate.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it is absolutely right that those who\u2019ve been double jabbed, we can take a different approach than the one we take today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of what we\u2019ll be doing exactly, you\u2019ll have to wait for my statement to Parliament later today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plans would free tens of millions of Brits who have received both doses from having to self-isolate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What are the new rules for self-isolating?<\/h2>\n

The 10-day- self-isolation rule is set to be replaced for the fully vaccinated with 20-minute lateral flow tests taken each day for the same amount of time, after a successful pilot scheme running since April.<\/p>\n

Those who have had both doses of the vaccine will be free to leave their house that day if they test negative. <\/p>\n

The move will come as a major boost for workplaces as Brits will be able to go to work even if they have been in touch with someone who tested positive. <\/p>\n

It comes after last night the PM announced a number of new freedoms for the lift of lockdown, including scrapping social distancing, mandatory masks and orders to work from home.<\/p>\n

He has also said that millions of Brits will be able to get their second jab earlier in a bid to get all adults jabbed before Freedom Day. <\/p>\n

The strict travel rules continue to be in place but double Brits are expected to get more freedoms in weeks. <\/p>\n

Last week Mr Johnson said full vaccination will be a "liberator" for reopening international travel. <\/p>\n

Speaking on a visit to the Nissan plant in Sunderland, he said: "I\u2019m very confident double jabs will be a liberator and will enable people to travel.<\/p>\n

"We'll be setting out a lot more about the details of that in the course of July, in the course of the next few days.<\/p>\n

"There's no doubt at all that once you've got two jabs you are in a much better position."<\/p>\n
