“Sadly, people die from the flu too. In a bad flu year, you can sadly lose around 20,000 lives, but we don’t lock down our entire country or put in a lot of restrictions to deal with that.”, he added.
“We need to continue with our lives with sensible, appropriate and proportionate measures,” he assured in relation to the announcement of the lifting of most of the restrictions due to Covid-19.
Yesterday the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, announced that next Thursday it will end the main restrictions imposed to combat the Omicron variant in England and in March the isolation for positive cases will end.
As of Thursday, January 27, the use of the mask will no longer be mandatory, teleworking will not be officially recommended and the health pass will not be required to access nightclubs and certain large gatherings.
Javid reaffirmed that he hopes that the total restrictions can be lifted by March and stressed the need for an annual vaccination.
The number of people treated for the virus in hospitals continues to fall.
On Tuesday, the United Kingdom reported 94,432 new positive cases compared to 84,429 cases the day before.
More than 73,200 booster shots were given in the last 24 hours, meaning 36,546,583 people received a third dose, a total of 63.6% of the eligible population.
