Boris Johnson has announced the return of work-from-home guidance from next week, tougher rules on facemasks and the introduction of Covid passports in an attempt to slow the “extraordinary” spread of the Omicron variant. The prime minister told a Downing Street press conference that Britain must be “humble in the face of the virus” as he announced the series of measures. SponsoredHe also suggested that the requirement for vaccine passports could be expanded in future, arguing that coronavirus restrictions should not be maintained “because a certain portion aren’t vaccinated”. • What is plan B and what are the new rules? He said that Britain needed to have a “national conversation” about mandatory vaccination.
