The United Kingdom has notified this Monday that he has passed away at least one person because of the omicron variant in the country. It was the prime minister, Boris Johnson, who confirmed the death during a visit to a vaccination center in London. “Unfortunately, yes. Omicron is causing hospitalizations and unfortunately it has been confirmed that at least one patient has died with omicron.” So I think we have to put aside the idea that this is an attenuated version of the virus and recognize the great speed at which it is making its way through the population. The best we can do is all get the booster dose. ”
The Minister of Health, Sajid Javid, has warned of the “never seen” levels to which this variant of the SARS-CoV-2, and the existence of ten people infected with omicron admitted to hospitals in England. The country is “again” in “a race between the vaccine and the virus “, has declared, in the same line of the message of Johnson to the country this Sunday.
