Boris Johnson has said he plans to end all remaining Covid restrictions in England - including the legal rule to self-isolate - a month early.
Under the current rules, anyone who tests positive must self-isolate for at least five days.
The current restrictions are due to expire on 24 March.
But Mr Johnson told MPs he expected the last domestic rules would end early "provided the current encouraging trends in the data continue".
He said he intends to return after parliamentary recess - which is from 21 February - to outline the government's strategy for living with Covid.
