Changes take effect from 26 January as PM seeks to placate Tory MPs angry at No 10 party revelations
Boris Johnson has announced the end of all Covid measures introduced to combat the Omicron variant from next week, including masks on public transport and shops, work-from-home guidance and vaccine certificates.
The prime minister, updating MPs in the Commons, said the changes would come into effect from 26 January, the pre-set review point for so-called plan B restrictions introduced in December as Omicron swept across the UK.
