Health secretary plans to ‘get life completely back to normal’ in England with end of plan B and compulsory self-isolation
Sajid Javid has set out plans to abolish virtually every existing Covid restriction over the coming weeks in England and “get life completely back to normal”, a course popular with Conservative MPs but which prompted warnings from NHS and public health groups.
After Boris Johnson announced the end of all plan B rules, imposed to cope with the Omicron variant, by next week, the health secretary set out the government’s wider vision to go further, with rules on self-isolation expected to be replaced by voluntary guidance in March.
