British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has denied the government had deviated from scientific advice in deciding to lift all COVID-19 restrictions in England.

Johnson announced his plan for “living with COVID” on Monday, scrapping the last legal restriction which requires those who test positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus to self-isolate.
