PM to unveil long-term strategy for living with the virus but health experts say measures are premature
Boris Johnson will proclaim that the lifting of all remaining Covid restrictions in England this week marks a “moment of pride” when he unveils the government’s long-term strategy for living with the virus, despite concerns from scientists, health experts and Labour that the move is premature.
The legal requirement for anyone with Covid to isolate will be ditched a month earlier than planned, while free PCR and lateral flow tests will be axed to rein in public spending and attempt to restore people’s confidence that life can return to normality.
