Prime minister Boris Johnson announced on Monday that all Covid restrictions – including the legal requirement to self isolate – will end in England tomorrow and free mass testing will stop from 1 April.

Ruth Granger, acting consultant in public health at Sheffield Council, said: "We are looking at what the government announcements on the ending of testing, contact tracing and the legal requirement to self-isolate means for our services and how we support people in Sheffield.

"There continues to be guidance that if you are unwell you should stay at home. We are still encouraging people to think carefully about protecting themselves and those they care about, especially if they have symptoms of Covid."

Mr Johnson faced some criticism from the announcement, with the British Medical Association, a doctors’ union, saying the plan failed to protect those most at risk from Covid.

Meanwhile, opposition parties said it moved too fast and voiced concerns over the scaling back of free testing.

A mother and her 13-year-old daughter have said they were left screaming in fear when the roof of their home was ripped off during the weekend's storms.

Amy, who was in her bedroom at the time, said: "All of a sudden I just heard one big bang and I just screamed because I didn't know what else to do.

"I just ran into the hallway and then I could see all white stuff just in the house and I kept screaming even more."

Mother and daughter have moved in to temporary accommodation while work begins to rebuild their home.

Marie Richards and her daughter Amy were in their bungalow when they heard the sound of collapsing brickwork.

Their property, in Withernsea, East Yorkshire, was left severely damaged during Storm Dudley on Friday night.

"We heard this big almighty crash and I came to the front door and just saw the rubble and screamed," Ms Richards said.

"I ran back in the house, grabbed Amy and ran into the back garden and phoned the fire brigade."

A senior member of Yorkshire’s Ukrainian community says people with relatives there are scared, frightened for their families and find it “hard to believe” Russia has been able to march into eastern parts of the country.

Olga Callaghan, chairperson of the Leeds branch of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, has been speaking as Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warns that the UK will make it "as painful as possible" for Russian leader Vladamir Putin if he continues to move forces into the country.

Ms Callaghan (pictured below) has told the BBC: "I was in tears when I heard that everything was happening.

"When I say we’re frightened, we’re also determined this will not beat us and that Putin will not beat us and we will stay a sovereign nation.

"We knew there was a possibility, but you always believe it will never happen. Then, when it comes, it’s so upsetting."

The government has already announced sanctions against five Russian banks and three billionaire allies of Mr Putin, while promising to escalate the measures if Moscow orders a full invasion.

But Ms Callaghan says she thinks the current action by the Russian military is much more than the events of this week.

She says this is a problem for Ukraine which goes back to Russia’s decision to annex Crimea in 2014.

Ms Callaghan adds: "You have to remember, Ukraine’s been at war with Russia for the last eight years. So for them it’s an ongoing way of life to have Russians in your back garden."

Dozens of properties in the town, as well as in other parts of York and North Yorkshire, were flooded again this week following storms and days of torrential rain.

Last year, it was announced the flood risk management scheme in Tadcaster had been unavoidably delayed for two years.

The local Conservative MP, Nigel Adams, has said it is high time for the Environment Agency to "get its finger out" and deliver the flood defences the town urgently needs.

The town's mayor, Steve Cobb told BBC Radio York: "They do seem to have dragged their heels. The money from the government has been in place now for years and spades still haven't gone in the ground. It's frustrating, very frustrating."

The Environment Agency said: "A review of the planned flood risk management scheme in Tadcaster highlighted inaccuracies in the complex modelling of the design.

"This has unfortunately delayed the start of construction, but we are working to progress the scheme as quickly as possible."

Hope's Haven was started by Hayley Davenport in April 2021 and is named after the first bird she rescued.

Ms Davenport told BBC Radio Leeds: "I got her when she was a very tiny baby, fed her up and she's a fully-grown adult now.

"A lot of people just think they are flying vermin, but it's really not the case.

Ms Davenport, who lives in Halton, Leeds, is now appealing to people to look out for pigeons which are hurt, injured or unwell.
