AS Plan B measures are dropped in England, Boris Johnson said the "Omicron wave has peaked" with Covid cases and hospital admissions now in decline - but the "Pandemic is not over".

The Prime Minister confirmed earlier this week that face masks and working from home will be scrapped on Monday, January 24.

The easing of these restrictions comes after daily Covid cases hit a record high at the start of January, but throughout the month have steadily declined.

Mr Johnson signalled his intention to start treating Covid-19 more like flu, saying: “There will soon come a time when we can remove the legal requirement to self-isolate altogether, just as we don’t place legal obligations on people to isolate if they have flu.

“As Covid becomes endemic, we will need to replace legal requirements with advice and guidance, urging people with the virus to be careful and considerate of others.”

According to the latest Public Health England figures, more than 107,364 cases have been recorded the past 24 hours, meaning that there is a slight increase in daily infections.

However, the numbers are far lower than the record high of 167,075 which was recorded on January 4.

Despite England seeing cases dropping, the virus still remains rife in certain areas.
