British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that England will withdraw epidemic prevention restrictions, becoming the first major Western country to announce the complete lifting of epidemic-related government restrictions;The move is a big boost for Johnson. Johnson said in the lower house of parliament on Monday that people infected with the new coronavirus would no longer be required to self-isolate by law from Thursday, but still advised to avoid going out. From April 1, free COVID-19 testing for all will also end.

“We will remove all remaining domestic legal restrictions,” Johnson told the House of Commons on Monday. “We want people to exercise personal responsibility.”
Johnson’s announcement of his plan to “live with Covid-19” comes as daily infections, hospitalizations and deaths are all falling, but critics say he has gone too far.
Other changes from Thursday include no longer requiring a seven-day test for infected contacts who have been vaccinated, while also no longer requiring unvaccinated close contacts to self-isolate.
