Nightclub bosses in Newcastle are celebrating Boris Johnson's announcement that all Covid measures introduced to combat the Omicron variant will be relaxed from next week.
Updating MPs, the prime minister said Covid data was “showing that time and again this government got the toughest decisions right” and that the plan B rules imposed in December could be lifted from next Thursday.
This includes mandatory vaccine certificates for clubs in England, however venues can choose to keep using the scheme on a voluntary basis if they wish.
