It's been not fun but the time has come

The plan to remove the need to isolate - which is tantamount to saying there are no rules at all - is set for only a couple of months away, if not sooner. That's going to be a big deal. Will it mean they remove the testing centres?

Sorry, I don't click on random links. Can you figure out the nous to post an image properly?

On the face of it it seems this is reasonable especially in spring time. The gamble England took appears to have paid off, or more accurately the restrictions others put in place don't really seem to have done any good.

Freedom from CV might be about the only thing that can save Boris' popularity.

Before or after the Brexit fiasco?

Before, when he applied for the job as PM...

Nobody listens to David Davis any more, other than David Davis. He failed at being important years ago.

And he's done it today to bury bad news e.g. David Davies.

No, they had to because the current rules run out on 26th Jan.

See my new thread.

This is fine until we get a nasty new variant around the time of the May elections.

MAY DAY!!

I would wait until May day to end them all just so people voted the right way.

No 10 is drawing up plans to phase out England’s remaining pandemic restrictions from as early as March as a beleaguered Boris Johnson signals to his backbenchers that he is prepared to let the UK live with the virus.

A senior source confirmed the government was looking at ending mandatory self-isolation for positive Covid cases, saying it would be “perverse” to keep the measure for the long term. It could be replaced by guidance.

The legal requirement to self-isolate, carrying fines of up to £10,000, is one of several pieces of Covid legislation due to expire in March and the government is considering whether any of it will still be necessary.

Other provisions that will run out or require renewal include giving your address to NHS test and trace and listing members of your household. Powers relating to government funding for sick pay, inquests and emergency registration of medical workers also remain on the statute book.
