There are almost no UK legal restrictions relating to covid. There are some rules about people returning from certain high risk countries. And unvaccinated people who test positive still have to self isolate. And that's about it.

Many people (like myself) still wear masks in busy indoor locations. And many are choosing to forego foreign holidays this summer.

Life here in the UK doesn't feel entirely normal, but it's much much nearer to pre-pandemic conditions than this time last year.

"Choosing" is a strange way to put it when COVID testing and quarantine requirements have added hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of pounds to the cost of most foreign holidays and the rules are changing so frequently and suddenly that it's a big financial risk to book anything more than a few days in advance.
