The United Kingdom declared the final abolition of all covert restrictions and the “return of their freedoms to the people.” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in parliament on Monday that the coronavirus was being “transferred” from a pandemic to an endemic disease – one that will always have to live with, but which does not require serious restrictions. Including quarantines – both for patients and for tourists entering the country. In general, such a decision is extremely important for the entire tourism market around the world: in fact, Britain has set a trend to abandon the insane restrictions, paving the way for a complete and without any obstacles to the resumption of tourism.
“Today will be a moment of pride after one of the most difficult periods in the history of our country, when we begin to learn to live with COVID,” he said on Monday. The statement presented a plan for “coexistence with COVID-19”, which provides for the complete “return of their freedoms to people” and the abolition of all mandatory restrictions – including quarantine and self-isolation for patients and tourists returning from abroad. “Thanks to the phenomenal success of the vaccination program and our improved understanding of the virus, we can now move from government intervention to personal responsibility,” he said.
Earlier, Johnson explicitly stated that he would like to lift all restrictions as soon as possible – previously the lifting was planned from the end of March – precisely because “covid is becoming an endemic disease.” Mandatory free coronavirus tests will be abolished – they will be left only for at-risk groups. “The pandemic is not over yet, but thanks to the incredible scale of the vaccination program, we are now one step closer to returning to normal to finally restore people’s freedom,” Johnson said. He added that the government would maintain some surveillance systems and contingency plans, such as the emergence of a new, more dangerous strain.
In this case, the removal of all restrictions will take place immediately. The date is February 24, ie the end of this week.
