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

The UK’s rate of inflation rose to 10.1 per cent in July, the first time >>> it has registered a double-digit annual increase in more than four
decades, driven by the higher cost of food.
The increase in the consumer price index, higher than economists’
expectations of 9.8 per cent, rose from a 9.4 per cent rate in June.
The figures highlighted the difficult task the Bank of England faces
bringing inflation down, now it has spread from high energy prices to
other goods and services across the economy.
The on-going COVID-19 pandemic w/increasing numbers of people disabled
with Long-COVID continues to have a very negative impact on the rate
of production of "goods and services across the economy."
The Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday the increase in
July resulted principally from the higher cost of food last month.
With the Conservative leadership hopefuls battling to become the next
prime minister, the figures will draw further attention to the decline
in living standards faced by households across the UK.

Sir Chris Whitty has warned that thousands of middle-aged people are now >>> dying of heart conditions after many were reluctant to bother the NHS
during the pandemic.
This year has seen a higher number of deaths than normal from
preventable conditions as many have missed out on statins or pills for
blood pressure amid lockdowns.
As of now, there are currently 800 more people dying each week over
normal levels, and only half of that is due to Covid, The Times has
reported.
While the reasonings for these deaths are still unclear, the chief
medical officer has now alerted the Government about how barriers to
accessing medication may have contributed.

Earlier this year, MailOnline reported that deaths from heart attacks
soared by a fifth worldwide during the pandemic.
Previous research also indicated that many Brits were too worried to go
to hospitals in case they were a burden on the already struggling NHS
service, while others did not want to catch the virus.
Millions of GP appointments and operations were postponed or scrapped
too, which may have contributed to worsening conditions.
In drawing attention to excess deaths, Whitty reportedly pointed to
figures from the Office of National Statistics which demonstrate that
5,170 deaths in men aged 50-64 could have been helped by heart medications. >>>
These patterns have been recognised by the Health and Social Care
Secretary Steve Barclay who recently stressed that it was important to
be 'transparent coming out of Covid around excess deaths'.
He said: 'Now, one shared point of understanding must be the scale of
the COVID backlog, with around now 7.1 million patients.
'For example, we know from the data that there are more 50 to
64-year-olds with cardiovascular issues.
'It’s the result of delays in that age group seeing a GP because of the
pandemic and in some cases, not getting statins for hypertension in time.' >>>
The Department of Health has also opened more than 90 community
diagnostic centres where people across the UK can be tested for numerous >>> conditions including cancer, heart and lung disease.
Earlier this year it was pledged that a network of up to 160 centres and >>> boosted testing capacity would be available by 2025.

More than 280 people in England and Wales lost their lives to homicide
with a bladed instrument—mostly knives—between April 2021 and March
2022, the highest number since records began in 1946, according to a
report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The number of homicides rose by 19 percent, to 282, over the previous
year. The increase included an 18 percent rise in the deaths of young
men, with the number of male victims aged 16 to 17 years jumping to 24 >>>from 10.
One of those teenage victims was Levi Ernest-Morrison, 17, who was
stabbed to death in the Sydenham district in London, after being chased
by a gang armed with knives and a machete.
Alex Sprules, 17, was jailed for life for murder; Tyreese Ulysses, 19,
was sentenced to 13 years for manslaughter; and Ulysses’s mother,
Nichola Leighton, 36, also was jailed for life for murder. During trial, >>> jurors heard that Leighton was outraged by Ernest-Morrison and his
friends banging on her front door looking for Ulysses; she then drove
him and Sprules to hunt down the group.
Epoch Times PhotoUndated images of 17-year-old Levi-Ernest Morrison (L), >>> who was stabbed to death by Alex Sprules (R), who was jailed for life
for murder, in Sydenham, London, on April 10, 2021. (PA/Metropolitan Police)
The figures showed 177 of the knife homicide victims were white—an
increase of 36 compared with the previous year—and 59 were black,
including almost 50 percent of whom were aged 16 to 24.
Black people had higher rates of victimisation, the ONS said. “The
average rates per million population were around four times higher for
black victims than white victims or victims of other ethnicities,” it said. >>>
The report did not analyse the ethnicity of perpetrators, as many of the >>> homicide cases have not yet come to court.
The ONS report pointed out that knives and machetes were used in 75
percent of teenage murders compared with just 40 percent of adult homicides.
Patrick Green, chief executive of the Ben Kinsella Trust, an anti-knife
crime charity, blamed the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns for making >>> young people feel more “vulnerable.”
Green said: “As we emerged from COVID restrictions and those
restrictions were lifted, we were seeing more evidence of young people
made more vulnerable by COVID. Gangs are particularly good at picking up >>> on vulnerabilities, are quick to pick them up and indeed lure young
people and exploit them in criminal acts. We think there could be a link >>> there.”
Green said he had carried out education workshops in London and
Nottingham and had seen a “notable difference” in interactions with
young people after the pandemic.
‘Some Feel Less Secure in Their Community Spaces’
“Some feel less secure in their community spaces, more worried,” he
said. “We know that fear is a factor … in terms of carrying a knife.
It’s one of the motivations. They feel safe carrying a knife and that
alleviates the fear.”
Green said there are “a range of drivers for knife crime that reach deep >>> into our society.”
“We’ve got to not only tackle drugs and gangs, we’ve also got to tackle
school exclusions, we’ve also got to tackle mental health provisions for >>> young people,” he said.
Bruce Houlder, founder of Fighting Knife Crime London, said the rise in
male teenage knife victims is “highly disturbing.”
“The long-term failure of all governments in the last few decades to get >>> to grips with social deprivation and the loss of hope among many young
people needs to be heeded. As a nation, we need to be ashamed that it
has come to this,” he said.
In March 2022 Tyler Hurley, 16, was stabbed to death with a zombie knife >>> on a bus in Chadwell Heath, east London.
His killer, Carlton Tanueh, 18, was jailed for life for murder. The
trial heard that Hurley and his friends had uploaded a music video to
YouTube mocking a number of Tanueh’s friends.
“Homicides, knife, and gun crime continue to fall in the capital,
bucking the national trend,” a spokesman for the mayor of London said.
“However, the mayor is clear that one death is one too many and the
level of violence in London remains too high.
“That’s why he continues to take action by investing in policing,
expanding neighbourhood policing teams, and investing record amounts in
early prevention and support programmes for young Londoners through
London’s Violence Reduction Unit as we work to build a safer London for
everyone.”
The ONS analysed data held by the Home Office Homicide Index, which
contains detailed information about each killing recorded by police in
England and Wales.
It said “kicking or hitting” accounted for 116 homicides—17 percent of
the total—and “strangulation or asphyxiation” was the cause of 14
percent of murders in which women were the victims.
There were 28 homicides by shooting, seven fewer than the previous year
and 30 percent lower than a decade ago.
