Covid-19 UK - Plan B scrapped as Omicron is 'in retreat' says Sajid Javid

Coronavirus latest - BRITAIN is over the worst of Omicron and on a clear path to living with Covid, Sajid Javid cheered today as Plan B was entirely dumped. The Health Secretary championed the well-oiled booster rollout for allowing Boris Johnson to rip up the rules and make us Europe's freest nation. At a Downing St press conference he hailed the step "the culmination of a brilliant national mission that helped us to withstand the current wave and restore more freedom to this country". But he warned the job was not yet done and said people would likely need to get jabs every year. Hated vaccine passports will be dumped along with requirement to wear face masks anywhere indoors next week. The guidance to work from home has been dropped effective immediately - meaning Brits can go back to the office tomorrow. The remaining rules will expire on January 26 meaning the changes will kick in next Thursday morning. Mr Javid said Omicron is "in retreat" but warned that now is not the "finish line" in the fight against coronavirus. Saying there is a fall in infections and hospital admissions, Mr Javid said: "This plan has worked and the data shows that Omicron is in retreat."
