Is it time to scrap COVID isolation?

Back at the start of the pandemic, if you tested positive for COVID - or even if you were a contact - you were looking at two weeks of isolation. 

These days, that's been downgraded to a week, and contacts are generally free to go about their normal life. 

But while COVID is still undeniably a health risk, having masses of people undergoing mandatory isolation takes its own toll. 

So should compulsory isolation be shortened or even scrapped altogether?
