Omicron panic… Britain returns to work from home [TKB World]

Due to Corona virus, for the last two years, there was an orgy of death all over the world. As soon as people started breathing in peace after its cases reduced, then its variant Omicron has become a new problem. In view of the way it is slowly becoming serious, many countries have started returning to the restrictions. In this episode, Britain is again starting work from home. Work from home will be started in professions where it is possible from Monday.

Vaccine passport needed for congested areas

Apart from this, the vaccine passport has been made mandatory to go to crowded areas of Britain. It has been said in the order that there is no need for people to cancel their Christmas party, but it is necessary to get checked from time to time. The country’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson made this announcement on Wednesday.

Booster dose against Omicron in South Africa

South Africa has also started efforts regarding Omicron. South Africa has approved Pfizer’s coronavirus booster vaccine for people over the age of 18. About 20 thousand cases of corona updated overnight, most of which were from Omicron.

The South African Health Products Authority (SAHPRA) on Wednesday approved the use of Pfizer’s comorbid COVID-19 vaccine following the announcement by BioNTech and Pfizer. After the new variant, there are fears that two doses of the vaccine may not be enough to protect against Omicron. Now the third dose of vaccine can be given to people under 18 at least six months after their second slab, or 28 days after the second slab for people over 12 years old.

South Africa at the lowest level of lockdown

This decision of SAHPRA comes after South Africa registered a new surge of 19,842 infections overnight. Now the death toll has crossed the 90,000 mark with 36 new deaths. More than 60 percent of these infections were in the country’s economic center Gauteng province. Significantly, South Africa is currently at the lowest level of its five-level lockdown strategy, but given the circumstances, the level of this lockdown is likely to increase.
