Britain ’s fast-track approval of the Covid vaccine means restrictions could be relaxed before the end of March, Matt Hancock said last night. The Health Secretary said he ‘can’t wait to scrap this tiered system altogether’ and for the country to ‘get back to living by mutual respect and personal responsibility, not laws set in Parliament’. But in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, he signalled that the vaccine rollout could soon remove many of the anti-Covid measures. The Government now aims to vaccinate more than half of the UK’s vulnerable people by the end of February. Mr Hancock added that the mass vaccination programme will also involve a large-scale Government advertising campaign, fronted by celebrities and other trusted voices, and launched before Christmas.
