England Ends All COVID Passports, Mask Mandates, Work Restrictions

By Lily Zhou of the Epoch Times

Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home requirements will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday. Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic becomes endemic.

Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home.  The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26. And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in England.

The requirement for secondary school pupils to wear masks during class and in communal areas will also be removed from the Department for Education’s national guidance.

Roaring cheers from lawmakers could be heard in the House of Commons following Johnson’s announcements on masks.

People who test positive for COVID-19 and their unvaccinated contacts are still required to self-isolate, but Johnson said he “very much expect[s] not to renew” the rule when the relevant regulations expire on March 24.

“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,” the prime minister said.

Asked to remove testing rules for vaccinated UK-bound travellers, Johnson said the government is reviewing the testing arrangements on travel and that an announcement can be expected in the coming days.

But he refused to reconsider the vaccination mandate for frontline health care workers, insisting “the evidence is clear that health care professionals should get vaccinated.”

Johnson told MPs that the Cabinet decided to remove its so-called “Plan B” measures on Wednesday morning as data suggest the Omicron wave has peaked nationally, and he attributed stabilising hospital admission numbers to “the extraordinary booster campaign” and the public’s compliance to the restriction measures.

The removal of the “Plan B” measures against the CCP virus came as the prime minister battles increasing pressure calling for him to resign over alleged lockdown-breaching parties in Number 10 Downing Street, the prime minister’s official residence, during the pandemic.

It also came after Number 10 received a petition on Monday signed by more than 200,000 people, calling for an end to vaccine passports and similar COVID certifications.

A separate petition calling on the reversal of vaccine mandates for health care workers, which was also delivered to Number 10 on Monday, received about 160,000 signatures.

Governments in Scotland and Wales have also announced the removal of Omicron curbs, but mandatory indoor mask-wearing and COVID passes will remain in place.

You have hit the nail squarely on the head RiNS. I wonder how long that rule will last? Since most counties are now being ruled by a tyrannical form of governance, including the USA, they can change the rules at will.

This is like watching the USSR fall apart. The narrative is crumbling before our eyes.

I know I shouldn’t but I’m really starting to enjoy pointing out the bullshit about the narrative to the Covidians. The best part is, they have no response.

I spent the afternoon with Geneva, Stucky.

You should come meet her.

And, my hot 73-yr-old cousin is coming from India… apparently, you can fly into “some” international airports in the USA and avoid quarantine. If you understand what you are doing from the get-go.

Or, so I hear.

Meanwhile, Oregon proposes plan to make indoor masking permanent (although in S Oregon, I see about 25% of people currently complying with the mask mandate)

OHA proposes plan to make indoor masking permanent, 2 State Representatives share their thoughts on the matter

Clbrto, you need to get out of your quite, rural part of eastern Oregon and come to the big tent city, I mean big city. Here in Portlandia, everyone complies with the mask mandate. In fact, I still see people driving alone wearing masks and walking in an empty nature park wearing masks.

These people need to be careful not to breathe any air that a non-Covidian might have exhaled. They are probably afraid they would turn Republican if they did.

Obviously, not a complete win.

Found out today a 35-year-old coworker died Monday from blood clots caused by “covid”. He was heavy but in a John Belushi flexible/active kind of way. Pretty sure he had all of his Covid vaccinations. He was a cool guy and I’m gonna miss him. Can’t believe he’s gone and I’ll never see him again. It appears the ventilator closed the deal once more and so mark down another $52,000 windfall for the hospital: $13,000 diagnosis and $39,000 to never use that bogus horse dewormer drug and instead allowing the vent to blow out his lungs.

A friend of mine says his 19yr old daughter is home with strep throat this week. Yesterday, she was on a college course Zoom and he could overhear the teacher say this to the students: “Make sure you all wear masks, even if you have been vaccinated. Those who are vaccinated can still get covid. That’s why we are now on Zoom. I have had all three shots and I still got Covid this week. It’s my second time getting it.

What a shitshow. I’d be surprised if it ever ends.

A. It’s his second time testing positive. That’s not the same as having an active case of a disease.

B. See A, unless the first time “getting it” was after getting vaxxed and therefore due to original antigenic sin.

C. He’s full of sh*t, and is just a gov worshipping cultist intent on corrupting students.

Fuck these clowns. They enabled all of this. They are responsible.
It takes a lot of balls to hoot & holler about the end of something that you, yourself, allowed to be initiated.

But, then, it’s all part of the show.

They all were still wearing their masks. They could have sent a better message by removing them.

They are bragging.

Mandates will be removed, and people will still comply with nonexistent mandates, which is the ultimate proof to themselves that they have completed the task. They are laughing their butts off.

Companies continue to mandate it, so the government can sit by and say they didn’t do it. My company also requires weekly testing for any unjabbed workers, even if they only work remote. I’ve been put on a hybrid work schedule with the weekly testing, since I live close to one of the offices. So, I’ve been looking for another job and trying to get things in order to relocate to a better location.

You have that right. But before the Soviet Union fell, people mocked the corruption and silly mandates profusely. So, people do eventually see through the BS. I have read a lot about this.
