COVID Curbs Eased: UK PM Boris Johnson Rolls Back COVID-19 Measures, Ends Mask Rule & Work From Home

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday announced the end of COVID-19 measures that he had introduced to curb the significant upsurge of the B.1.1.529 Omicron variant in England. This would imply that the UK would no longer adhere to the work-at-home advisory, and mandatory mask-wearing and requirement to produce the vaccine passes at public venues. The decision was taken in view of Britain's booster rollout campaign and the strain’s almost negligible death rate and mild symptoms.

Speaking at the House of Commons, as Johnson reviewed Britain’s Plan B measures that were imposed after the new Omicron variant was detected last November in South Africa, he said that infection levels are falling across England. And since the UK has been able to double the speed of booster programs, and cases across many provinces have been falling, the country can “return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire.”
