On the 19th local time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that because the spread of Aumechjong in the UK has reached a peak, the epidemic prevention restrictions implemented in response to Aomi kerong will be cancelled next week, including the cancellation of mandatory wearing of masks.

Foreign media analysis said that Johnson was previously exposed to attending a party during the British epidemic prevention restrictions, which caused public anger, and the voices within the party calling for his resignation were high, and Johnson "made a move" at this time, intending to please critics and keep his position as prime minister.

Johnson said on the same day that from next Thursday, the "Plan B" restrictions formulated by the United Kingdom to prevent The Michaelon will be terminated, including wearing masks in a closed environment, working from home, using "health passes" to enter nightclubs and other places. In addition, the mandatory self-isolation of COVID-19 patients (which has been shortened from 7 days to 5 days in recent days) is also expected to be completely abolished on March 24, and the government will vote on whether to advance this period.

"Our scientists believe that the spread of Omikeron has now reached its peak in the country." Johnson said hospitalizations had stabilized and that hospitalizations in London had declined.

The Governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat ID: Capitalnews) previously reported that according to British media exposure, no. 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister's Office, held a garden party of "bringing your own drinks" on May 20, 2020. About 40 people attended the party, including Johnson and his wife.

Johnson's party coincided with the severe epidemic in the United Kingdom, and the prime minister took the lead in violating the epidemic prevention regulations and was exposed to cause public anger. On January 12, Johnson finally apologized when confronted by opposition torture in parliament, but the anger did not subside, and calls from the top of the party for his ouster grew louder. A poll showed that two-thirds of the British public (66%) believe Johnson should resign.

Johnson's spokesman said on the 17th that the first relative to the cocktail party was not aware of it in advance. But Dominique Cummings, a former senior adviser to the British Prime Minister, broke the news that Johnson knew in advance about the illegal party and lied to Parliament, when at least two people proposed to Reynolds to cancel the cocktail party, and Reynolds later asked Johnson for advice, and Johnson's opinion was that the cocktail party could continue.

According to Reuters reported on the 20th, Johnson has been widely criticized for his overall response to the new crown pandemic. The UK reported 152869 deaths, the 7th highest number of deaths worldwide. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all adopted their own anti-epidemic measures, and these restrictions are often more stringent.

Agence France-Presse said that some analysts believe that the relaxation of epidemic prevention restrictions in the United Kingdom is precisely driven by Johnson, who is deeply involved in scandals and faces calls for ouster, in order to please critics. The New York Times said that when Johnson implemented the measures last month, nearly 100 lawmakers opposed him.

The Washington Post said that lifting the epidemic prevention restrictions is a measure that some conservative lawmakers are keen on, and after Johnson announced the new rules on the same day, the Lower House of Commons erupted in warm cheers.

According to Reuters, Johnson hopes to readjust his strategy after the "party door" caused an uproar, because at this time someone in the party is plotting to remove him.

"Mr Johnson is desperately trying to win support among conservatives, and he wants to prove that Britain has gone through the worst of Aumicron. New cases and hospitalization rates, despite declining, remain at high levels. The New York Times said the British prime minister was trying to quell unrest in his party and avoid a vote of no confidence.

But Johnson's announcement of the new rules has not dampened the anger of the parties. Fox News said that 6 Conservative ministers publicly declared that they did not trust Johnson. David Davis, a former senior Conservative MP and Brexit minister, shouted directly to Johnson in a speech in the House of Commons this Wednesday morning: "In the name of God, go!" ”
