Self-isolation rules could be scrapped by the end of the month regardless of whether you test positive.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson previously announced early plans to scrap all remaining measures as part of a strategy for "living with covid".
In an announcement to parliament, the Prime Minister said the new plan would see the schedule for axing years of restrictions moved forward dramatically, the Mirror reports.

The government has already removed previous covid measures, including the requirement to wear a mask in public spaces and a direction for people to work from home where possible.
The final measures, including isolation, were expected to be removed by March 24, but in light of Mr Johnson's comments, the end of all rules could be brought in from any point after he speaks to the house on February 21.
Questions have been raised over what will happen if an employee tests positive after the requirements are scrapped.
According to the Mirror, people will be advised not to go to work if they pick up the virus, Downing Street has confirmed.
However, without the force of the government-backed rules or fines system, the door is open for employers to ask staff to work even when they are unwell and have a positive test result.
A spokesperson for the PM, when asked if people would be able to go to work with Covid, said: "So there would be guidance, that would not be what we are recommending.
"What we would simply be doing is removing the domestic regulations which relate to isolation.
"But obviously in the same way that someone with flu, we wouldn't recommend they go to work, we would never recommend anyone goes to work when they have an infectious disease."
It is not yet known whether the current £500 grant for self-isolation will also be scrapped when the final measures are restricted.
People across Merseyside are still being urged to come forward for their booster jab, which has been shown to offer effective protection against getting seriously ill with the virus.
Millions of people in the UK have now been sent reminders to book in for their boosters as just 37.1million have had all three doses.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says you are 85% less likely to end up in hospital if you have had a booster.
