The Corona pandemic has become a global crisis. Many countries have focused on maximizing vaccination campaigns to prevent coronavirus spread. There is good news from Britain about corona and vaccination. In Britain, restrictions related coronavirus have been almost completely lifted. Now people in Britain can walk out without masks and they do not need to follow social distancing.

Britain is set to become a mask-free country despite the growing prevalence of coronavirus on the strength of vaccination. Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday revealed plans to lift most of England's legal coronavirus restrictions, including face masks and social distancing from July 19, urging personal responsibility rather than government edict. The British government is preparing to celebrate this day as Freedom Day. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made the announcement.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, “We are going to end all rules like social distancing, masks in the next few days. If anyone continues to follow these rules, we will not stop them. The process of lifting the restrictions imposed by Corona will start from July 19. However, he said that the final decision would be taken on July 12. In the fourth phase, not only masks, social distancing but also other restrictions will be removed. Nightclubs, music concerts, wedding ceremonies, cinema halls and all businesses will be allowed to resume.

Both doses of the corona vaccine have been given to 64% of the population in Britain so far. The government has started the process of removing the rules on the continuing effectiveness of the vaccine rollout. But history has shown that during the Corona period, the number of Corona patients has increased again in the countries that exempted the restrictions. But the government's emphasis on personal judgment was met with concern by scientists, who worry that hospitals and medics could yet be stretched anew if the Delta variant runs amok or new strains emerge. Corona has killed more than 1.28 million people in Britain. Delta virus was found to increase corona infection.
