Distance? No thanks. Everyone is welcome in all pubs. Even the mask requirement is history. Monday is Freedom Day in England. The UK is lifting all corona rules. The British do not agree on whether to celebrate or to worry.

Health minister infected with corona
He is relying on personal responsibility, said the prime minister. He wanted to leave the decision to protect themselves to the citizens. The economy must take off again without restrictions. Even if the corona infections were to rise again, the number of hospitalizations and deaths would still be manageable. In addition, it is summer, people are mainly outside and thus spread the virus less. The English still get infected. Also in the British cabinet.
