Starting from Thursday 24 February all anti Covid restrictions still in force in GB will be “canceled”. This was confirmed by the British premier Boris Johnson speaking in the House of Commons. Therefore, the obligation, even for those who are not fully vaccinated, to put themselves in self-isolation after close contact with a positive will disappear. Until April 1, however, those who test positive will still be advised to stay home. “We will encourage people with Covid-19 symptoms to exercise personal responsibilityjust as we encourage people who might have an influence to consider others as well, “the premier said.
The announcement made by Boris Johnson is the result of a “government paralyzed by chaos and incompetence”. Thus the Labor leader Keir Starmer, during the debate in the House of Commons, harshly criticized the decision of the British premier. The approach chosen by Johnson “will leave us vulnerable” in the face of new variants or a resumption of infections, said Starmer, according to whom Johnson’s “is not a plan to live well with Covid”. Labor, Starmer said, does not want the restrictions to last “a moment longer than necessary, but we must get the citizens on our side and this requires clarity”.
