The newly detected Omicron variant of novel Coronavirus continues to ring the danger bells across the globe since its emergence. Touted to be more effective than the Delta variant, Omicron is slowly spreading to other countries from the detected place South Africa giving sleepless nights to various countries.
On the other hand, the United Kingdom which is facing the wrath of the Omicron variant had reported the first casualties of the Omicron variant on Monday. Quoting Prime Minister Boris Johnson as saying, leading news outlet Sky News reported the sad happening.
Having reportedly confirmed the first Omicron-triggered casualty, the Prime Minister had urged everyone to be cautious and appealed to the public to come forward to take the booster dose so that the risk of catching the new variant gets reduced. He visited a clinical facility today and asked the public to change their mindset.
It has to be noted that the United Kingdom is the severely hit nation with the Omicron variant. The nation accounts for the major share of the Omicron cases in the world and in 24 hours it reported the biggest slump in the cases. Seeing the casualty on the same day shows how problematic the situation is in the UK.
Warning that the Omicron is also resulting in a rise in hospitalisations, the Prime Minister urged the public to stop seeing the new variant as a normal one and asked them to pay more attention.
