British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Wednesday that key COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom will be dropped as early as next week as the politician faces calls to resign.

Johnson addressed Parliament, announcing that measures such as mandated public mask-wearing, COVID-19 passports, and enforced self-isolation, all part of the country’s “Plan B” COVID-19 response, will be shifted from compulsory edicts to optional guidelines. His statements were met with roaring cheers by members of Parliament.
