London, Jan 27 : The UK on Thursday dropped Covid-19 mandates such as compulsory mask wearing, vaccine certificates and work from home rule. According to The Guardian, the Britain government has dropped all its Plan B restrictions, which were put in place ahead of the expected wave of Omicron infections.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said the success of vaccine programme and an understanding of treatment of Covid patients is “allowing us to cautiously return to plan A, restoring more freedoms to this country”. Despite the relaxation of Covid restrictions, shoppers and commuters in some settings would be urged to wear face masks. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, “The success of our booster rollout, the tireless work of the NHS and the amazing public response means Plan B measures have ended in England today.
“The pandemic is not over – everyone should remain cautious, and I urge anyone who hasn’t yet got their vaccine to come forward.” According to The Guardian, the move comes as the UK as a whole recorded 102,292 new daily Covid-19 cases, with the week-on-week average being slightly down.
