On 19 January, the British Prime Minister made an announcement reflecting the imminent end of the pandemic. Boris Johnson said that some health measures restrictions related to Covid-19 will be lifted. This says that the pandemic is turning into an epidemic.
While in France, wearing a mask outdoors is once again mandatory, this will no longer be the case in England. Indeed, Boris Johnson has just announced it.
Moreover, teleworking will no longer be recommended and access to the most frequented places hardly requires a health pass. The same is true for other places where large gatherings take place. This decision will take effect from 27 January 2022.
Although the number of cases testing positive for Covid-19 on a daily basis has fallen by up to 40% in England, and hospitalisation has stabilised, the Conservative majority denounced Boris Johnson’s statement.
Indeed, the British Prime Minister’s intervention came earlier as the health measures were to be reviewed on 26 January.
