More than 11 million people have tested positive for the disease in the UK, which has a total population of about 67 million.
Before the appearance of the Omicron variant, which is highly transmissible, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned of a “tidal wave” of infections.
However, on Tuesday he faced a blow to his authority when more than 100 lawmakers from his party voted against measures to curb the growing spread of the disease.
Jenny Harries, Executive Director of the UK Health Security Agency, He called Ómicron “probably the most important threat” since the start of the pandemic.
“The numbers that we will see in the next few days will be quite staggering compared to the rate of growth of cases that we have seen with the previous variants,” he told a parliamentary committee.
Harries said the Omicron variant had the potential to put the national health service “in grave danger” because of the speed with which infections are increasing.
