Covid: Living with Covid plan will restore freedom, says Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson is due to set out his plans to scrap all remaining Covid legal restrictions in England, including the requirement to isolate. His meeting with the cabinet ahead of updating MPs in the Commons was delayed, however. There are reports of tensions between the Treasury and the Department of Health over how parts of the plan will be funded. Some experts have urged caution and Labour queried plans to reduce testing. Speaking before Monday's announcement, Mr Johnson said his plan would bring society 'towards a return to normality'. No 10 said the Covid vaccination programme had put England in a 'strong position to consider lifting the remaining legal restrictions'.
