“Senior scientists have called for an end to all coronavirus restrictions including mass testing and facemasks by June 21 and for “citizens to take back control of their own lives”.
The 22 signatories of the open letter, which include Robert Dingwall, a member of the government’s vaccination committee, and Carl Heneghan, head of Oxford University’s Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, criticised the government for “confused and contradictory directions” in pandemic management.
“We are being told simultaneously that we have successful vaccines and that major restrictions on everyday life must continue indefinitely. Both propositions cannot be true,” they write, saying that mandatory face coverings and community testing should also end by the summer.”
