The Prime Minister has today announced his plan to 'live with Covid' in England.
Rules such as mandatory self-isolation will be axed from Thursday, along with £500 isolation payments and Day One sick pay, and free tests will be withdrawn from April 1 - with a 72-hour limit already in place to stop stockpiling, Mirror Online reports.
Boris Johnson said testing, tracing and isolation cost £2bn in January alone, adding: "Those who would wait for a total end to this war... would be restricting the liberties of the British people for a long time to come."
