Pre-flight lateral flow test scrapped in new Covid guidelines, says Johnson

Boris Johnson has said England will continue to operate under plan B, requiring people to wear masks on public transport and within indoor spaces, and to work from home where possible, but some testing restrictions would be scrapped.

Travellers to England will no longer be required to take a lateral flow test before departure by the UK government as the prime minister said it would no longer serve to control the Omicron variant

If you’re still listening to the government at this stage you need to give your head a shake🤦🏼‍♂️

[jackfortyfour]

Only the drones and zombies are listening Johnson.

[lishablue]

When can we peacefully catch the flu/cold in peace?

[grahamclayton]

Only because they’ve run out of lateral flow tests

[AthelstanEngland]

How about accepting vaccinated and vaccine-free pose exactly the same risks, and thus stop discriminating against those of us who have allowed natural immunity to run its course?

[MrMeAsLeS]

In which reality does this make any sense? Frog him Lads!

Bojo don't care about people in the UK just likes having cheese and wine parties every weekend 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[oddity]

Yes but what happened to that 50 people party or is that OK to ignore that now, yes let's ignore it, let's also ignore w bailiffs, BBC license inspecters...

We used to get bad colds. We went to work, smokers got chest infections and the vulnerable were worse. Beecham's and sudafed made billions. There was never testing or cold passes??

Scrapping pre-flight tests to enter the country doesnt make much of a diff if other countries dont follow suit.

[stahliboi]

Bet scotland and wales feeling a bit silly right about now.

[dansperspective]

Do you think the guy on the left wears that mask all the time... 🤔 Something tells me he doesn't

[donmac]

Novac Djokovic Has not had the vac—— because he has seen other sports players collapse…

[alexander]

So what was the point of the previous rules if they change just like that..

[drd]

Makes no odds because they will NEVER let anyone fly or travel without taking the clot shots.

My civil liberties and those of others taken away without my consent...

[kfraser]

Hope folk realise that youtube and the likes took away the ability to see how many people dislike videos so that the general public do not see just how many disagree with all this bs. Was never about anyones health. All about control and manipulation. Bout time people realised.

[kevlacey]

Nothing to do with the CDC withdrawing the tests because they admitted PCR tests don't work!!!🤣🤣

[TheMrduuk]

Just scrap all restrictions worldwide end of
