Health Secretary Sajid Javid did recommend people should be “wearing a face mask in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet” this winter – but this will not be mandatory under Plan A. Under Plan A no restrictions will be brought back over the winter, meaning pubs, restaurants and shops can stay open, and there will be no limit on the number of people you can meet.

Plan A is things remaining as they are and putting faith in the vaccine to keep the pandemic in check.

The Government has unveiled its plan for tackling Covid-19 this winter, and it places heavy focus on vaccinations.īooster vaccines will be offered to people aged 50 and over, those in care homes, those considered clinically vulnerable and frontline health and social care workers from next week.Ĭhildren aged between 12 and 15 will also be offered the jab, with vaccinations taking place in schools.
