WHAT HAS CHANGED IN 2021 IN UK’s MANAGEMENT OF COVID 19 ? All figures approximate

ANSWER : VACCINATIONS in UK and MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.   82% of UK adults are fully vaccinated and 93% have had their first jab. Vaccinations started in Dec 2020 being given in age/vulnerability  order down.  12/16’s to be next . Children? Currently not planned.    Booster jabs have started this month.

We are living WITH the virus rather than try to create a Covid-free country (which would be impossible).

Hospitalisations are few (relatively ) Most are young  unvaccinated adults and older adults who refused the vaccine.  The pandemic will not go away , but “there is a much wider element of public immunity ” and “this is the permanent route out…” (Prof. B. Wren , vaccinology professor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine).  The young unvaccinated continue  to be  most likely to test positive now that schools are back, and  large gatherings such as festivals and sports events take place. 

SO  : assume life is near “normal” : theatres, clubs, sports venues with full specator numbers are open.  There are some excellent productions  on stage already from musicals to dramas including Shakespeare.  See our travel page (link on this page) for more theatre and visitor information.

Masks are still  mandatory in some areas : London  transport, medical centres and some shops  .  “We cannot eradicate the virus —so if not now—when?” (Sajiv Javid ).  

So – better times are here .  If you have  queries about an  upcoming booking , do ask.  Important dates for 2021 are :   THEATRES are open  ;  the Chelsea Flower Show is on now  21/26 Sep. ;London Marathon is  3 October.  For full travel /visitor information see the link on this page under Travel
