UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson argued that as the government prepares to lift COVID-related restrictions in the coming days, “now is the time” for people to “get their confidence back.” Speaking to BBC’s Sunday Morning Show, Johnson stressed that they have reached a stage where they can think about moving away from mandatory rules and more toward personal responsibility.

Boris Johnson said he intends to address the COVID-19 pandemic with a “vaccine-led approach.” In response to a question related to possible future restrictions, Johnson stated that he did not want them to return but insisted that they need to remain “humble in the face of nature.” Johnson stressed that they do not need to spend £2 billion a month on testing as they did in January and reiterated that they need to remain “careful.”
