England repealed most Corona measures on Thursday night. The government now says why that happened.
England has lifted most Corona restrictions on Thursday night. For example, the requirement to wear a mask indoors no longer applies, nor does the health passport have to be shown in clubs and at certain large events. The government’s recommendation to work in a home office also no longer applies. Despite the still-high level of infection rates, many Britons welcome the decision by under-pressure Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“I think it’s a really good thing,” said 71-year-old Elizabeth Hynes in London. She sees the posters of live shows and theater performances and thinks to herself, “How wonderful, it’s like old times.” Hynes says she suffers from advanced-stage skin cancer. “We don’t know what tomorrow is, we have to live for today and try to enjoy life a little bit,” she added.
The relaxations were made possible by a successful booster vaccination campaign, according to the government. According to the latest figures, 64 percent of the population over the age of 12 received a third dose. According to the report, this has saved the NHS, the national health service, from collapse. However, health authorities in the UK are still recording nearly 100,000 new infections a day. According to official figures, 155,000 people have died in connection with the virus since the start of the pandemic.
