Washington: President Joe Biden warns Thursday that the omicron variant of Coronavirus will begin to spread much faster in the United States and urge Americans to be vaccinated or encouraged.
“The only real protection is to get your chance,” he said, predicted “severe winter disease and death” for those who were not vaccinated.

On December 14, he had surged up to 117,000 – an increase of 35 percent.
Biden emphasized the importance of people who were vaccinated to get booster and from those who had not been vaccinated to receive their first shot.
Health ministers from G7 on Thursday called on international cooperation in the face of omicron tensions, which they call “the biggest threat today for the health of global public.” The outbreaks that have been linked with new variants have spread globally, and more European countries apply restrictions on travel.

“The tool we have, we know is working,” he said, added, “We will only continue to push forward …
to make Americans vaccinate and encourage.” Biden, the selected most on the promise to end the health crisis in America, was launched on December 2, plans to ward off the increase in infection, hospitalization, and death.
But he stopped taking tighter steps, knowing the problem was very sensitive.

When Omicron’s tensions were identified a few weeks ago, the United States stopped traveling from several South African countries but did not introduce other limits, and did not tighten health measures on domestic flights.
