Boris Johnson has announced the end of all Covid measures introduced to combat the Omicron variant - compulsory mask-wearing on public transport and in shops, guidance to work from home and vaccine certificates - from next week.

The prime minister also told the Commons that the legal requirement on people with coronavirus to self-isolate would be allowed to lapse when the regulations expired on 24 March, and that date could be brought forward.
