Covid isolation laws set to end in England
all of England's remaining measures could end this month instead if the data remained encouraging.
About 91% of people in the UK aged 12 and over have had a first dose of the vaccine, 85% a second jab, and 66% a booster or a third dose. It comes after Armed Forces Minister James Heappey said on Thursday ending free lateral flow tests was "the direction of travel". But he argued it was not necessary to keep spending £2bn a month on testing, as he said was happening in January.
That suggests Covid is no longer an exceptional threat so it is understandable the exceptional response taken to manage the virus should be reviewed. Covid will now have to compete with other spending priorities.
