Several British officials questioned the prematureness of the move.

Johnson said at the covid-19 meeting that data showed that the number of cases of Infection with the Olmiqueron strain had peaked nationwide, hospitalizations remained stable, and the London area was down. Subsequently, he announced that the "Plan B" for epidemic prevention in England will be lifted from the 27th, that is, it is no longer mandatory to show the epidemic pass and work from home. The next day, there will be no need to wear masks in classrooms, and the requirement to wear masks in public places will soon be abolished, although the BRITISH government still recommends wearing masks in crowded places.

British Labour leader Stammer reminded Johnson of 438 COVID-19 deaths the day before, and that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and he urged the public to remain vigilant. Jeremy Hunter, chairman of the UK's Health Task Force, noted that doctors under the NHS were exhausted, and Hunter asked the Prime Minister where the hopes of frontline staff lay. Scottish National Party leader Ian Blackford said caution was key at the moment and the UK healthcare system was still under pressure. (Overseas Network Wang Xiaoyu)
