In order to limit the spread of the Omicron variety, restrictions have been introduced in England.
According to reports from London's media, masks will be required to be worn in stores and public transportation, as well as shopping centres, post offices, banks, hairdressers, and fast food restaurants, starting today.
According to the media
report, travellers arriving from overseas will be subjected to a PCR test in
two days and would be quarantined until the test results are negative.
According to media
estimates, 14 instances of Omicron have been reported in the United Kingdom,
prompting the government to declare the whole adult population eligible for
booster shots, while minors aged 12 to 15 will receive a second dose of the
vaccine. ۔
The Assistant
Commissioner National Police Chiefs Council, on the other hand, has instructed
police personnel to advise people to wear masks.
Those who do not wear
masks will be fined $20000 as a last option, according to Assistant
Commissioner Owen Weatherill of the National Police Chiefs Council.
He further stated that if
the fine is not paid within 14 days, a fee of one hundred pounds will be
levied.
Omicron variant symptoms:
The patients examined
thus far have had "very minor symptoms," according to Dr. Angelique
Coetzee, who spoke to the BBC on Sunday.
It will take weeks,
according to the WHO, to figure out how the variation may influence
diagnostics, medicines, and immunizations.
The symptoms connected to
the novel omicron variation have been described by the South African doctor who
initially raised the alarm about the new strain as "very minor."
