Lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in England announced on 21 February 2022

Restrictions are easing, and we are being urged to learn to live with COVID-19. However, Covid has not gone away, and it is important that personal responsibility is exercised if we are all to stay safe. That's why we need to keep the lessons of the last two years at the forefront of our minds, and we strongly encourage people to continue their vaccination programmes as a key way of lessening this impact. We urge people to adhere to the Government's advice, and those who test positive to continue to undertake an isolation period until the restriction is lifted on 1 April 2022.
