The road to normality – but without direction

The Prime Minister may have declared a return to normality, but a host of issues remain, says Heather Jameson. 'Dealing with the impact on social care and public health is only the very tip of the iceberg.'

After almost two years of chaos, calamity and COVID, the Prime Minister has declared a return to normality.

No more self-isolation, no more free testing, no more lockdowns. How much of the decision is down to medical advice, and how much is political appeasement is debatable, but we will all now need to find a way to live with COVID, particularly councils and their public health teams.
