Prime Minister Boris Johnson ruled out introducing new restrictions ahead of New Year's Eve.
Nightclubs, bars and restaurants in England are to remain open over the next few days, putting it at odds with the rest of the United Kingdom, which has introduced new COVID-19 restrictions to prevent the spread of the Omicron variant.
The decision was made to allow the hotel to remain open, despite the government's plan to discourage large groups from gathering on New Year's Eve. In England, masks are not required in restaurants, bars or pubs, but masks are expected to be worn in shops and on public transport.
Anyone entering a nightclub or a venue that holds 500 or more people must show a National Health Service pass or negative flow result.
The public is not allowed to attend the New Year's Eve event in Trafalgar Square.
UK health secretary Sajid Javid said they wouldn't be taking any further measures. People should be cautious as we approach new year celebrations and take a test to see if it makes sense to celebrate outdoors or indoors.
The annual fireworks display on the banks of the River Thames in London was canceled by the city's mayor due to concerns over the spread of the virus. Trafalgar Square was to be attended by 6500 frontline workers, but the event has been canceled. It is still going to be a televised event with music performances, without any members of the public present.
London has 7 best running routes.
The requirement for self-isolation has been changed by the UK government. The CDC in the US has recommended that people who test positive for COVID-19 be isolated for five days. If a person in England gets a negative test on the first two days of isolation, they can come out.
The rest of the United Kingdom has put limits on the number of people who can gather in nightclubs during the holiday season.
New York's Times Square has added safety measures.
In the past, fireworks over Edinburgh on New Year's Eve drew thousands to the city.
