LONDON RECORDS OVER 65,000 CASES OF OMICRON IN SEVERAL DAYS AND STILL COUNTING.
A major incident in the British capital has occurred due to the spread of the Omicron variant says London mayor Sadiq Khan…
Over the past seven days, more than 65,000 new cases were confirmed in London and 26,418 cases reported in the last 24 hours -– the highest number since the start of the pandemic.
“The surge in cases of the Omicron variant across our capital is hugely concerning, so we are once again declaring a major incident because of the threat of Covid-19 to our city,” said Khan.
“It’s right that London’s key agencies work closely together to minimise the impact on our city, including helping to protect the vital vaccination programme,” he added.
Britain has recorded record case numbers for three days in a row, prompting the introduction of new regulations and reports of another lockdown on the way.
