Finally, England is the first country to finally end mandatory face masks and Covid passports.
It’s about time.
Starting today, January 27, 2022, England’s covid measures are ending There will no longer be mandatory face coverings in public places and Covid passports have been dropped.
Boris Johnson also said the government would immediately drop its advice for people to work from home. The PM said England was reverting to "Plan A" due to boosters and how people had followed “Plan B” measures. He said that scientists believed the Omicron wave had peaked nationally.
From today, secondary school kids will no longer have to wear face masks in classrooms and government guidance on their use in communal areas would be removed "shortly".
Boris Johnson also said the government intended to end the legal requirement for people who test positive for Covid to self-isolate — and replace it with advice and guidance.
My sources tell me that the real reason that Boris Johnson has lifted these ridiculous mandates is that he kept getting caught over and over again for not following his own rules.
How can you possibly set rules for everyone in your country to follow and then you blatantly abuse them. Oh, the life of a politician.
Let’s keep an eye on countries like the Czech Republic, where there are rumours regarding the same abolishment of masks and Covid passports.
Let the house of cards fall.
