In the UK, with the confirmation of infection with a new mutant virus, Omicron strain, measures such as mandatory wearing of masks on public transportation are being strengthened, and Prime Minister Johnson will be 18 years old or older by the end of January next year. He expressed his desire to end the booster dose to humans.
Twenty-two people have been confirmed infected with the Omicron strain in the United Kingdom so far, and measures have been strengthened on the 30th in England, which accounts for the majority of the population.
New measures require wearing masks on public transport and retail stores, undergoing a PCR test within two days of entry, and quarantining until a negative result is obtained.
In London, people wearing masks on subway cars were conspicuous, but citizens said, "I don't know how effective the mask is, but it's a rule." I'm worried that it will be necessary. "
The British government plans to accelerate the spread of the vaccine while slowing the spread of the infection, and Prime Minister Johnson, who had a press conference on the 30th, will finish the booster vaccination for all people over the age of 18 by the end of January next year. I showed the idea that I wanted to get it.
In addition to medical personnel and volunteers, the military will also be mobilized to promote boosters, and Prime Minister Johnson emphasized the importance of boosters, saying that "the greatest defense against Omicron strains is the vaccine."
