Music industry reacts to government’s decision to scrap COVID self-isolation rules
COVID.Downing Street has said that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will reveal details of his “living with COVID” plan on Monday (February 21) – outlining that factors such as vaccination, testing, and anti-viral drugs will be enough to keep people safe, rather than expecting infected people to stay at home.Self-isolation regulations for those who test positive and their close contacts are expected to cease by the end of this week.“COVID will not suddenly disappear, and we need to learn to live with this virus and continue to protect ourselves without restricting our freedoms,” said Johnson. “We’ve built up strong protections against this virus over the past two years through the vaccine rollouts, tests, new treatments and the best scientific understanding of what this virus can do.”He added: “Thanks to our successful vaccination programme and the sheer magnitude of people who have come forward to be jabbed, we are now in a position to set out our plan for living with COVID this week.”Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary told BBC‘s Sunday Morning today (February 20) this was “declaring victory before the war is over”, that ending mandatory self-isolation was “not the right thing to do” and that this was a distraction from the ongoing ‘partygate’ scandal.“At this stage the PM risks muddying the waters,” he said. “We want to see the government publish the scientific advice because at the moment this seems very premature.”“He continued: It seems like Boris Johnson is keen to declare victory before the war is over in the hope he gets some headlines about ‘victory day on COVID’ instead police officers asking questions about actions in Number 10.”Labour Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting tells #Raworth that dropping remaining

Thousands protest at Quebec City legislature again as anti-mandate demonstrations continue
COVID-19 public health measures descended on Quebec City on Saturday for the second weekend this month.Inspired by the so-called Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, horns could be heard as several dozen vehicles, including trucks and tractors, arrived outside the provincial legislature late Saturday morning.It was a mostly festive atmosphere, as some people were dressed up in cartoon character costumes, stuffed animals were handed out to children and music played.It was the second large demonstration against public health measures in the province in two weeks.Since the last one in early February, the Quebec government announced it is phasing out its vaccine passport system and intends to get rid of most COVID-19 health measures by March 14.But protest organizers, addressing the crowd outside the legislature, said they wanted more concessions from the provincial government.Organizer Bernard Gauthier called the tone of the protest “peaceful,” adding he hoped the provincial government would return the favour without specifying any demands.Meanwhile, others called for an end to the provincially-declared health emergency and mandatory masks for school-aged children.Demonstrator Christian Martel said he wanted to see an end to mandatory masking in classrooms.“The pandemic is over, we have to end everything. We’re tired, it’s enough,” said Martel.Some demonstrators said they would also like assurance that the vaccine passport system would not return.Last week, Quebec announced it would be phasing out vaccine passports, but Health Minister Christian Dubé warned it would reimpose the passport system if it’s needed during a new wave of COVID-19.

Stranger Things star is only just celebrating her 18th birthday today (February 19).Most know her as Eleven from the Netflix smash hit, which is set to return for a fourth season this year, but she's featured in a number of TV shows and films during her nine-year career.While she keeps her life off-screen mostly private, she gives glimpses into her day-to-day on social media – and she's dating the son of a rock music legend.Millie proves a star-studded life isn't always rosy though, as she's also gone through a battle with anxiety and lost the hearing in one ear.To celebrate her big day, Daily Star is taking a look at her life away from the cameras.Millie Bobby Brown is dating Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock music icon Jon Bon Jovi.Jacob Hurley Bongiovi is 19, and the duo made their romance public in June last year.They started rumours of a relationship a few weeks earlier though, when they were pictured together on Jake's Instagram.He called her his "BFF" at the time, while she responded with a unicorn emoji.Since then they've managed to keep things going despite her busy work schedule, and Millie shared a cute photo of them together on Christmas Day last year, writing: "Happy holidays."They haven't shared any pictures together more recently, but Jake was in the UK at the end of January judging from his Instagram, which featured a classic red phone box.In the past, Millie dated England rugby star Jason Robinson's son Joseph, and social media star Jacob Sartorius.Millie made her on-screen debut in 2013, playing Young Alice in two episodes of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.Since then, her stardom has skyrocketed, mainly thanks to her landing the role of supernatural Eleven in Netflix's Stranger Things.She's starred in a
