Elderly Britons May Be In Self-Isolation For Four Months

Britain has taken a distinctly different approach to tackling coronavirus from European countries such as Italy, Spain and France.

The latter have imposed stringent lockdowns to try to slow the spread of COVID-19.

But according to Reuters, Britain plans to isolate older people 'within weeks' and force anyone with coronavirus into quarantine.

The UK has stepped up measures that have so far been less stringent than elsewhere in Europe.
