Covid rules ease in England as nightclubs reopen and bar service resumes - BBC News

Most legal restrictions on social contact have been lifted in England.

There are now no limits on how many people can meet, nightclubs reopened at midnight, and table service will not be necessary in pubs and restaurants.

Face coverings will be recommended in some spaces, but not required by law.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged people to still be cautious, and he is currently self-isolating after the health secretary tested positive for Covid.

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks things will go back to "normal"

[MultiDoctordeath]

With music like that nightclubs should have remained shut.

What I learned from this News Report : Alot of Gays in London

DJ Covid is going to be mixing it up Tonight. 🔈🔉🔊👾🔊🔉🔈

Take it from a Californian- if you want this to not roll back, continue wearing a mask as much as possible.

[karlhulme]

Remember when people were called conspiracy theorists for saying vaccine passports were coming ? Anyone still doubt it with Boris’s speech at 5 pm.

[Peteristrate]

BBC complains that people are out in the open, in the nightclubs... but their own reporters don't wear masks in those said nightclubs, as seen in the video :))

[thomasmadden]

I predict the NHS will be privatized within five years.

[ViletWake]

This is ridiculous. The pandemic isn’t over.

[sweetiepie]

Wonder how long until we get the "freedom day party-goer on a ventilator" headlines?

[thomaswykes]

Notice how when addressed to the public, it's called "rules".

When politicians break them, it's referred to as only "guidance"

[kennyj]

A thousand people in that club, many more outside, and not a brain between them.

[tarakhanom]

Yes freedom day. Soon the freedom day will turn into dooms day.

[robertnahum]

Give it 3 to 4 weeks. Many of those people dancing will be hospitalized...as well as many others and England will look even more reckless than they already do and have been.

[tamikoestomo]

Isn't is possible that The Coronavirus will say, with a grin: "Hold my beer!"?

[pagmon]

who wants to rush to a nightclub in the middle of a pandemic is this for real

[theghostfacethriller]

The sad thing is that nobody is taking the virus seriously in any way

[jeanbuchanan]

We are at the last stage of the financial collapse

[zigzack]

Let's just hope it won't be another episode of "IT'S COMING HOME!"...

[d.o.m.e.n.i.c.o_d.e.n.t.i.c.e]

Very responsible people those waiting to enter the clubs in London! exactly what the Prime Minister meant!
