UK's Johnson set to scrap COVID restrictions
Johnson said on Sunday he did not want people to "throw caution to the wind" and there was no case for complacency, but the vaccine rollout meant the government wanted to move from state mandation to encouraging personal responsibility."Today will mark a moment of pride after one of the most difficult periods in our country's history as we begin to learn to live with COVID," he said in a statement ahead of Monday's announcement to parliament.
Medical leaders have urged Johnson not to be "gung-ho" with the nation's health, and government advisers have said dropping restrictions could lead to rapid epidemic growth as people change their behaviour more swiftly than at previous times in the pandemic.
