Following a dramatic but brief panic over the Omicron variant of the CCP virus that triggered compulsory mask-wearing and COVID passport, England has started living with COVID-19, this time without a contingency menu of restrictions.

From Jan. 27, masks are no longer legally required anywhere in England, and nightclubs and large events are no longer mandated to check NHS COVID Passes.
