Boris Johnson Ends Mask And Vaccine Mandates In England Addressing parliament Wednesday, the prime minister announced that the enforcement of "mandatory certification[vaccine passport]" will end “From the start of Thursday next week," ending the unpopular effort by government to force or pressure people to get the jab. Johnson said the government "will no longer require face masks in classrooms, and the Department for Education will shortly remove national guidance on their use in communal areas.” The prime minister also announced that the government would remove mask requirements for other indoor locations: “We will trust the judgement of the British people and no longer criminalize anyone who chooses not to wear one,” he said. Johnson said, "the government is no longer asking people to work from home and people should now speak to their employers about arrangements for returning to the office.” The prime minister intends to remove the legal requirement to self-isolate on contracting the coronavirus infection. “The self-isolation regulations expire on 24th March, at which point I very much expect not to renew them,” he said. Johnson's announcement stands in contrast to other left-wing world leaders in the west who are still pushing for more restrictions, vaccine and mask mandates. At a press conference Wednesday, United States President Joe Biden urged Americans to get the jab and the so-called booster, even as data shows that the vaccinated are more likely to contract and spread the virus than those with natural immunity.
