The UK population must now take over responsibility to protect ourselves from Covid despite what the government says, an expert has said.
Boris Johnson yesterday announced a shock plan to end all Covid self-isolation laws in England in just two weeks' time - around a month earlier than planned, as the UK recorded 276 Covid deaths on Wednesday.
The announcement came after it emerged last month a new sub-variant of Omicron had been found, the BA.2 'stealth' variant.
