LONDON: Britain said on Monday that the Omicron Coronavirus variant spreads “phenomenal level” and now accounts for about 40% of infections in London, so people have to get a booster shot because multiple vaccination is still vulnerable.
Because the first Omicron case was detected on November 27th in England, Prime Minister Boris Johnson had imposed a harder restriction and told the nation on Sunday that the “tidal wave” came.
England said that unless the action was taken, there may be a million people infected with omicron at the end of the month.
“Spread at the phenomenal level, something we have never seen before, it doubles every two to three days in infection,” said Health Secretary Sajid Javid to Sky News.
“That means we face a wave of tide infections, we are once again in the race between vaccines and viruses.” The pound fell 0.4% to $ 1.3225, while it was widely steady against the euro at 85.29 pence.
Johnson, who wrestled with a rebellion in his party for the steps to curb Omicron and protest over alleged parties in his street office during last year’s locking, said people had to rush to get a booster vaccine to protect “our freedom and our way of life.
“.
After Covid-19 was first detected in China at the end of 2019, he faced criticism because he initially rejected the kuncian.
He has also been criticized for overseeing errors in transferring patients to care homes, and to build a test-and-trail system that failed to stop the deadly second wave.
Johnson has repeatedly said that while mistakes were made, the government made decisions at speed in the largest public health crisis for generations and that the government quickly launched a vaccine.
Worldwide, Covid has killed 5.3 million people, removing trillions of dollars in economic output and changing the normal life upside down for many people.
In the UK, more than 146,000 people have died of Covid.
‘Tidal Wave’as Johnson tried to stem the spread of Omicron, he faced anger that grew up from libertarian in his party for a faster Covid rule and sank the rank of polls.
He has faced criticism of the handling of a sandal scandal, the provision of a favorable Covid contract, repair Downing Street Flat and claims he intervened to ensure pets were evacuated from Kabul in August.
A survey of Ipsos Mori for London night’s standard newspapers showed the opposition workers of the Sirmer Worker was 13 percentage points ahead of Johnson, the first time a labor leader was seen as a more capable prime minister since 2008.
He also echoed other polls by showing.
Workers rose three points at 39% ahead of conservative Johnson, which fell one point since the last survey in November at 35%.
Javid said even though there were no deaths confirmed in England and only 10 people were treated at the Omicron variant, the rapid spread meant that unless the government followed up on health services could be overwhelmed.
“Two doses are not enough, but three doses still provide excellent protection against symptomatic infections,” Javid said.
The government wants to offer all adults booster in the new year, the ambition target is given a Christmas holiday and that vaccination 1 million people per day are around 530,000 today per day.
