In plain words

This is a Prolog encoding of the UK's self-isolation rules, created in April 2021. It translates the government's guidance into logical code, allowing users to query whether they should isolate based on their circumstances. The tool is designed for anyone trying to understand or verify their isolation status against official rules. It demonstrates how complex public health regulations can be represented as executable logic programs.
