People will now be able to sit next to each other in waiting rooms
Patients in waiting rooms in England are no longer required to socially
distance.
The new "stepping down" rules apply to NHS hospitals, GP surgeries and
emergency departments.
People will still be encouraged to wear face masks and practise good
hygiene.
In a letter to local health services, NHS England bosses said rules
needed to "adapt" with Covid-19, because the virus was widely
circulating and likely to remain endemic for some time.
Who can still get free Covid tests?
What's the guidance if I have Covid now?
Cleaning routines in England's hospitals have also been changed.
Patients with Covid will have to isolate for a week instead of 10 days.
And those exposed to the virus but without symptoms will not have to
isolate at all.
Testing rules were changed in England earlier this month, as part of the
government's Living with Covid plan.
'Vulnerable people'
Senior NHS bosses said they were changing the rules because of "the
pressure from Covid-19 continuing".
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS providers, which represents
hospital trusts, said: "We need to keep reviewing our infection-control
measures.
"We know at the moment that they are very important to protect
vulnerable people but they also make it a lot more complex to run a
hospital, get through care backlogs and provide emergency care.
"What these rules are saying is each individual hospital needs to review
where it is up to in terms of local infection rates but also seeing how
many rooms they have in a hospital too."
'Unprecedented pressure'
There is much concern over accident-and-emergency waiting times and a
backlog of planned surgeries.
Asked in Parliament, on Tuesday afternoon, about backlogs in the NHS,
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: "The NHS and social care are facing
unprecedented pressure because of the pandemic.
"In NHS settings and adult social care, there has been a necessity for
infection-protection controls.
"Staff absences have been higher than in normal times but the NHS has
been stepping forward to bring support with the record funding that the
government is providing both to the NHS and to adult social care."

the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
