Most notably, the plan will scrap rules that required Brits who test positive for the virus to self-isolate for five days, the outlet reported.

Restrictions to travel and mask mandates were gradually pulled back across the UK in recent months.

Johnson said in early February indicated that he planned to ease the self isolation rules, the Guardian reported.
