Britain - The UK on Friday saw the highest number of Covid infections since January, a senior minister said Friday, as the government seeks to slow the spread of the new variant. Communities Secretary Michael Gove said that the country faces a "deeply concerning situation" as the Omicron variant spreads rapidly, with case numbers doubling every two to three days in England. The UK said it had a total of 58,194 cases on Friday. "We know that we have the highest number of Covid infections across the UK recorded today since January 9," when there were 59,937 cases, Gove told journalists after meeting leaders of UK regions. He added that 30 percent of reported cases in London are now the Omicron variant, while the virus was only identified in the UK two weeks ago. Scotland''s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned that "we may be facing -- indeed we may be starting to experience -- a potential tsunami of infections". The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said that if the trend continues, it expects Omicron to become the dominant variant in the UK by mid-December, with over one million infections by the end of this month.

ASTRAZENECA vaccines are offering little to zero defence against the new Omicron strain after 100 days, meaning booster jabs are vital in fighting the spread of the virus.
