In a London vaccination center, Boris Johnson will formalize what the planet feared: the first death in the world attributed to the Omicron variant. “Here in the capital, this variant probably represents 40% of cases. Soon, it will be the majority of cases”, warns the British Prime Minister.
In front of this vaccination center in the heart of London, the queue is endless. It’s the rush to get a third dose. All British adults will be able to benefit from it by the New Year, the government has promised. One million Britons could be infected with the Omicron variant by the end of the month, according to the government. In France, for the moment, 67 cases of the Omicron variant have been detected. For the Scientific Council, the Omicron variant would circulate more quickly in Europe than initially expected.
