SAGE has urged ministers to prepare for the “rapid deployment” of restrictions, including the reintroduction of work from home rules, if cases reach a certain level.
The Government must implement 'Plan B' winter measures, including vaccine passports and mask mandates, right away so we can avoid a "profound crisis", insists the head of the NHS Confederation.
Dozens of MPs are set to meet with members of the Together Declaration tomorrow to demand that the Government never introduces vaccine passports, including as part of a winter 'Plan B'.
Laura Dodsworth has written a good piece in her new Substack account, arguing that the Government's 'Winter Plan' is packed with 'nudges' that are bound to "confuse people into compliance".
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has attempted to clarify what exactly would trigger the Government to implement its 'Plan B' (including vaccine passports and mask mandates) this winter but was very coy on the specifics.
Vaccine passports will be introduced with a weeks notice if infections don't stay low this winter, and we could see the return of mask mandates as well as of a whole new lockdown, the Government has announced.
