Plan B restrictions that were introduced towards the end of last year, in a bid to control the spread of the Omicron Covid variant, are set to end this week.
While work from home guidance already ended last week, other restrictions like mandatory face masks and use of Covid passes have now been relaxed, with easing of rules on care home visits to follow on January 31.
When Johnson announced the end of restrictions he said that "once regulations lapse the government will no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anywhere".
