[page 97]

On 21 February 2022, then prime minister Boris Johnson announced the government’s plan for “Living with Covid-19”. The plan applies to England, with separate arrangements for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In February 2022, in line with its plan for “Living with Covid”, the government moved away from regulations and requirements, replacing specific interventions for Covid-19 with public health measures and guidance.
