FN newsletter 20-01-2022: the latest news and public consultations
The government has announced that the measures put in place under plan B in England to stop the spread of coronavirus will be lifted. The changes are published here. However, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said that face coverings will remain a condition of carriage on TfL services. “I’m asking everyone in our capital to do the right thing and continue to wear a face covering when travelling on TfL services to keep us all protected and to prevent further restrictions from being necessary later down the line,” he said.
You can find information about getting a vaccine and other information on Camden Council’s coronavirus web page and Westminster Council’s coronavirus web page.
