The Omicron variant is spreading at breakneck speed in Great Britain. But the government believes it is well armed with some additional measures – at least for some time.
The British government is optimistic that the planned tightening of the corona measures will not have to be adjusted again over the holidays.
The so-called Plan B will make it possible to “celebrate Christmas with loved ones as it was not possible last year,” Justice Minister Dominic Raab told Times Radio on Tuesday. Christmas is “safe,” added the Deputy Prime Minister.
On Tuesday evening (7.30pm CET) the House of Commons is due to vote on several measures announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to contain the Omikron variant of the corona virus. These include a tightening of the mask requirement and 3G rules (recovery, vaccinated or tested) for night clubs and major events. Dozens of conservatives are expected to vote against their own government. However, the largest opposition party, Labor, announced that it would support the measures. It is still unclear whether Johnson will have to rely on it.
200,000 new infections per day
The Omicron variant is spreading at breakneck speed in Great Britain. Health Minister Sajid Javid reported 200,000 new infections per day on Monday. The government’s goal is to offer every adult a booster vaccination by the end of the year. Long lines formed in front of the vaccination centers.
The number of confirmed Omikron cases in Great Britain was last at more than 4,700, about ten people had to be treated with Omikron in hospital, according to government information. A person proven to have been infected with the variant has since died.
