DISABLED people are being treated as collateral by the state, charities and campaigners said today as they warned that scrapping all coronavirus restrictions will “cost lives.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson eventually delivered his “living with Covid” plan to the Commons this afternoon, confirming that the legal obligation to self-isolate after a positive test will be axed on Thursday, with free Covid tests ending by April 1.
Due to the development of Covid vaccination and treatments, the country can now move “from government restrictions to personal responsibility,” he claimed.
