Boris Johnson is making a major announcement concerning the future of Plan B Covid restrictions in England.
The announcement comes amid speculation the Prime Minister was planning to downgrade or even scrap Covid restrictions entirely as he battles to save his job amid the "partygate" scandal.
The Prime Minister and his Cabinet have examined the latest Covid-19 data this morning before making a statement in the Commons.
The potential change to 'Plan B' measures will only affect Covid measures in England. The new measures will not impact Scotland and Wales.
England’s Plan B measures – which include guidance to work from home, the use of the Covid pass and mandatory mask wearing in shops and on public transport – are set to expire on January 26.
