England is unlikely to see more COVID-19 restrictions imposed this week, ministers have indicated, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to review the rules on Wednesday.
The UK government, which is responsible for public health policies in England, brought in its “Plan B” measures before Christmas, including reviving the indoor mask mandate and introducing mandatory COVID Passes for nightclubs and large venues, citing concerns over the Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19. Secondary school pupils were also told on Sunday that they will have to wear masks in classrooms until Jan. 26.
