UK to quarantine people for 14 days NOT 7 days!
The UK Government needs to listen to the scientific reports.
The incubation period (time from exposure to the development of symptoms) of the virus is estimated to be between 2 and 14 days based on the following sources:
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported an incubation period for COVID-19 between 2 and 10 days. [1]
China’s National Health Commission (NHC) had initially estimated an incubation period from 10 to 14 days [2].
The United States' CDC estimates the incubation period for COVID-19 to be between 2 and 14 days [3].
DXY.cn, a leading Chinese online community for physicians and health care professionals, is reporting an incubation period of "3 to 7 days, up to 14 days".

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The current advice for people who live with those who have symptoms is 14 days. We're therefore not sure what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
