Restrictions on freedom “must be an absolute last resort” and the UK must look to “live alongside” COVID-19 in 2022, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said.

The UK government, which is responsible for public health policies in England, said on Dec. 27 that no more restrictions would be imposed at least until after the New Year.
