People who have been told to self-isolate through NHS Test and Trace could have their details shared with the police on a "case-by-case basis".
Forces will have access to information telling them if an individual has been told to self-isolate, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said.
But the British Medical Association said it was worried police involvement might put people off being tested.
In England there is a legal requirement to isolate after a positive test.
