Coronavirus: PM announces end of Covid restrictions in England

Boris Johnson has told MPs about his plans to lift all remaining Covid legal restrictions in England.

This begins by ending the need to self-isolate after testing positive from Thursday and also sees an end to routine contact tracing.

His statement in the House of Commons came after a cabinet meeting amid reports of tensions over the future of free lateral flow testing and ahead of a press conference Monday night.

He had told MPs before the break of his intention to end the rules “a whole month” earlier than March 24.
