PM announces stronger measures in England to counter Omicron, amid pressure over No 10 Christmas party
Boris Johnson has triggered plan B Covid measures in England including a return to working from home, vaccine passports and more mandatory wearing of face masks in an effort to stop the spread of Omicron.
As No 10 came under immense pressure over a Christmas party widely reported to have been held during lockdown last year, the prime minister gave a press conference on Wednesday evening setting out further restrictions.
