A £500 payment is available to qualifying individuals who cannot go to work, are required to self-isolate due to Covid-19 but who cannot then work from home. However, please note that people who are (a) double vaccinated; and (b) who had their second COVID-19 vaccination at least two weeks prior to coming into close contact with the positive case will no longer be required to self-isolate and therefore will not be eligible for the payment (unless they test positive themselves).
