Britain prepares to ‘live with the virus’ and remove nearly all covid restrictionsEngland is set to end coronavirus restrictions |
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday that the government would very likely lift most remaining Covid rules in England on July 19 and leave it up to people to decide whether to keep wearing masks on transit and in confined spaces. |
A final decision will be made on July 12. Although coronavirus variants have increased infections — Britain reported over 24,000 new daily cases on Sunday, the highest number since early February — hospitalizations and deaths have remained stable. |
“There’s only one reason why we can contemplate going ahead to Step 4 in circumstances where we’d normally be locking down further and that’s because of the continuing effectiveness of the vaccine rollout,” Johnson said. Officials said they hoped to offer booster shots to people over 50 and other vulnerable groups this winter. |
The numbers: At least 50 percent of the U.K. is fully vaccinated, according to a Times database. In England, 86 percent of adults have received at least one vaccine dose, among the highest rates in the world. |
