In the UK self-isolation/quarantine is 10 days for everyone, why is Canada not doing the same? Obviously research in the UK is showing after 10 days one is non-infectious.

Many countries still have 14 day quarantines in place, including several countries like NZ, Taiwan and Singapore who have been incredibly effective in managing the pandemic.

Given how horribly the UK has managed the pandemic and their per capita numbers in terms of infections and deaths, not sure I would be holding them up as a beacon of "what to do". More like the opposite.
