The NHS covid emergency level alert has been downgraded as coronavirus hospital admissions continue to fall.
The health service has now moved from level four threat to level three. This means that covid is in general circulation but it's not as severe as level four which means that transmission is high or rising exponentially, the Mirror reports.
The news comes after this week had another drop in coronavirus deaths, in comparison with last week.
Yesterday, the death toll was down to 112 which is 30% lower than last Wednesday.
While on Tuesday there was a 50% drop compared to Tuesday two weeks ago when 231 people lost their lives.

NHS England Chief executive Simon Stevens said: "We had over 34,000 severely ill coronavirus patients in our hospitals in mid January.
"That number is now 4,000 and although that is still about 400 more Covid patients than we had this same day a year ago, nevertheless that very sharp decrease in the number of patients with Covid in hospital is a consequence of both declining infection rates across the community and the impact that's now being felt from the vaccination programme.
"As a result of those much reduced acute pressures on the health service, today I'm recommending that we reduce the national alert level across the health service - the EPRR alert level - from level four to level three, and that would take effect today."
Hospital admissions have fallen to 360 yesterday - compared to more than 4000 a day at the beginning of January.
Level three means "an incident that requires the response of a number of health organisations across geographical areas within a NHS England region."
