In addition to the voluntary wearing of veils, the obligation to scan a personal QR code when entering a restaurant, museum, gym and so on is to end from 19 July. This obligation was related to the government’s efforts to trace possible diseases.

Furthermore, the number of people who will have to resort to 10 days of quarantine after contact with the infected person should be reduced.

The planned dismantling was subsequently confirmed by Sky Minister Robert Jenrick in a Sky News broadcast. According to him, people can thank the success of the British vaccination program. “Thanks to him, we can now think about how we can return to normal as much as possible,” he said.

From July 19, masks will become voluntary in all settings, including shops, hospitality and public transport.

“It seems we could move forward now to a much more tolerant regime, where we get rid of some of the restrictions that were so difficult for us and learn to live with the virus,” Jenrick continued.

When asked directly about the possible voluntary wearing of veils, the minister said: “Like other people, I look forward to making these restrictions a thing of the past.”

Postponed Freedom Day
Originally, “Freedom Day”, as the media began to say at the end of the restrictions, was to take place on June 21. However, due to the rapid spread of the delta variant, the government postponed this date to July 19, stating that it wants to vaccinate as many people as possible in the meantime.

As of 4 July, 45.1 million people have been given the first dose with the first dose, representing almost 68 percent of the UK population. 33.4 million people are already fully protected, ie just over 50 percent.

According to the London government, the last phase of dismantling could already begin.
