Covid restrictions and free mass testing in England is to end. All rules including the legal duty to self-isolate will finish this week - and free tests will stop for most in April.

Lobby Akinnola is a spokesperson for Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice. His father, from Leamington, was among the first to die with Covid back in 2020.
