Hide AdBoris Johnson gave the green light for New Year’s Eve to go ahead in England yesterday.
After a crunch meeting reviewing the latest Omicron data, the PM decided not to introduce any further restrictions for the end of 2021.
It means that the Plan B restrictions which were introduced earlier in December are the only ones currently in place in England.
Among these measures is the return to work from home guidance, vaccine passports in a number of settings including football matches and mask mandates for shops and public transport.
No restrictions are in place for pubs and restaurants.
