Isolation of contacts is an important weapon in infection control, but it is also crude. Rapid testing circumvents needless isolation, and it should be used more widely.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Peto said: &#8216;In the school setting, it works, it&#8217;s safe, and that gives comfort to people who want to work out if there&#8217;s an easier way to control the transmission than having pingdemics and these rather disruptive waves of controlling the disease.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The study, backed by the Department of Health and Department for Education, is not yet peer reviewed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No10 will drop self-isolation rules for the fully vaccinated from August 19.<\/p>\n<p>But last night the Government announced staff in 16 key sectors will be exempt from today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Times\u00a0reported\u00a0the scheme is only expected to help 10,000 people, despite a record 1.3million being sent alerts last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/07\/23\/10\/45756789-9817627-Data_shows_618_903_alerts_were_sent_in_England_and_Wales_in_the_-a-5_1627034249003.jpg\" height=\"412\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Data shows 618,903 alerts were sent in England and Wales in the week ending July 14, a 17 per cent rise increase on the previous seven days and another record high.
