Covid news – live: Officials advise cutting social time due to omicron, as PM insists new rules ‘buy us time’
Britons are being urged to reduce the https://community.tubebuddy.com/index.php?threads/46337/ amount of time they spend socialising, with health officials warning this change could help to limit how quickly the new omicron Covid variant is able to spread. https://promosimple.com/giveaways/https-lihathanyaberita-blogspot-com-2021-11-ambulance-delays-treble-as-northern-html/
Dr Jenny Harries, head of https://forums.ubisoft.com/member.php/7274445-kritonromythe UK’s Health Security Agency, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme earlier that people ought to consider changing their “winter behaviours” and “not socialising when we don’t particularly need to”.
Her advice was backed up by Prof Adam https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?members/dermocare-combo-pack.53768/#about Finn, a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), who later told Sky News the next few weeks should be considered “a time for people to be careful to stay at home when they can to https://os.mbed.com/users/dermocarecombopack/ avoid contact with others”.
It comes as the government’s measures https://www.pebforum.com/members/dermocare-combo-pack.127293/#about to combat the variant came into force at 4am on Tuesday, with face masks becoming mandatory once again in England’s shops and settings such as post offices, hairdressers and public transport. In a tweet, the PM described the new rules – which include tighter border controls – as “proportionate and responsible” and said they https://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/members/dermocare-combo-pack.32584/#about “buy us time in the face of this new variant”
Member of public suggests face https://bukkit.org/members/dermocare-combo-pack.91391789/ masks ‘distraction’ from Tory sleaze Public opinion is still very much split on the use of face masks in public settings, as one man demonstrated this morning.https://forum.kajgana.com/members/dermocare-combo-pack.150608/#about Marc Zinnendor, who was travelling from Paddington to Kingham, in Oxfordfordshire, told the PA news agency he has no intention of starting to wear a face mask again.
“I never wear them,” the 52-year-old said. https://forum.gekko.wizb.it/user-9792.html“They don’t work, they’re just a distraction from the Peppa Pig World disaster and all the Tory sleaze accusations. I think [Boris Johnson] just wanted to get Covid https://www.chilli-grower.uk/members/kriton-romy.14133/ back into the headlines, that’s my take on it. I work in strategy, that’s exactly what I would do.”
Mr Zinnendor, who works https://tinhte.vn/members/kriton-romy.2879109/ in telecommunications, described face masks as “courtesy coverings”, saying the rules on them don’t add up.
“It’s pretty pointless - you go on https://forum.zenstudios.com/member/3567848-dermocare-combo-pack/about a train, you have to wear them, then you go to the office, you don’t have to wear them, you go to the restaurant, you don’t have to wear them, you go to a shop, you have to wear them,” he said.
Greece to make Covid jabs obligatory for over-60s.https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?members/kriton-romy.122743/Greece is to make Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory for people aged 60 and over, in a drastic move to stem a new surge in coronavirus cases.
The measure will come into force each https://www.smogon.com/forums/members/dermocare-combo-pack.572262/#about month from 16 January, with anyone in that age group who is not vaccinated facing a 100 euro (£85) fine.
Greece becomes the second European https://www.dohtheme.com/community/members/kriton-romy.33093/ country, after Austria, to make such a move
The Mayor of London has warned https://www.droidforums.net/members/dermocare-combo-pack.453441/#about the government against enforcing, and then changing, rules on mandatory face masks in England – as has been the custom in previous waves of Covid infections.
Said Khan said he didn’t want https://developers.oxwall.com/user/kritonromy a “hokey cokey on mask wearing, where the government reviews and increases rules each time”.
“As far as I’m concerned, on public transport, because https://forum.proxmox.com/members/dermocare-combo-pack.136767/#about more often than not we’ve got to be confined and can’t maintain social distancing, let’s keep it mandatory – with the backup of the police and with the backup of fines.”
He continued that this should remain the case even https://historum.com/members/dermocare-combo-pack.69070/#about if in three weeks time, omicron is discovered to be “less of a risk than people think”.Boris Johnson to address nation at 4pm
Boris Johnson will give a Covid press https://electricbikereview.com/forums/members/dermocare-combo-pack.48813/#about briefing from Downing Street this afternoon, during which he is expected to defend new measures brought in across England and encourage unvaccinated individuals to take up their jabs.
He will also encourage those who have https://www.cossacks3.com/forum/index.php?members/kriton-romy.28535/ already received two doses of a jab to accept the offer of a third, so-called booster shot when it is given to them.
The PM will speak at around 4pm.
First suspected omicron case https://www.alldeaf.com/members/dermocare-combo-pack.106338/#about found in South Korea – report
Over to South Korea now, where health authorities believe they have detected the first case of the omicron Covid variant as the nation moved to tighten its entry restrictions for Africa.
Officials conducted a genome sequencing test https://shoforum.com/index.php?members/dermocare-combo-pack.37391/#about on a couple who recently arrived in the east Asian nation from Nigeria and had tested positive for Covid.
The couple, who were fully vaccinated, visited Nigeria on 14 to 23 November and tested positive last Thursday, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
Tests were under way to establish if they http://mossbergowners.com/forum/index.php?members/dermocare-combo-pack.23655/ have contracted the omicron variant, the KDCA said. The result will be announced on Wednesday.
Britons risk waiting up to six months for booster jabs, prof warns
A professor is warning that despite reduced https://desu.me/members/kriton-romy.47030/ interval time between second jabs and boosters, it will likely still be “a period of months” before some people are called forward.
Robert Dingwall, professor https://postflaviana.org/community/index.php?members/dermocare-combo-pack.4307/#about of sociology at Nottingham Trent University, pointed to issues such as a number of vaccine hubs having “reverted to their everyday use” and volunteers returning to work as reason for this.
“I don’t think it’s going to be possible to https://freewebsitetemplates.com/members/Kriton%20Romy/ get the same kind of speed and capacity as we as we saw earlier [in the year],” the academic told talkRadio.
“So allowing people to get jabs from three months https://singaporebrides.com/weddingforum/members/dermocare-combo-pack.191536/#about after their last dose, in practice, I suspect that most, mostly it will be for four or five, even six months.”
Having said that, Prof Dingwall said he “certainly” encouraged http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?members/kriton-romy.93998/ anybody who is invited “to come forward and to take up the offer” of a booster jab.
