The Omicron variant marks the end of a cruise in Portugal. Cruise passengers were stranded for four days in the port of Lisbon. 68 people were infected with the Omicron variant. Monday January 3, the boat was evacuated and for the tourists on board, it is a disillusionment. More than 4,000 people had boarded this ship.
In Spain, the Omicron variant combined with influenza to form the flurone. Several cases have been detected in Catalonia. Patients are infected with the Omicron variant and the influenza virus. “All the viruses circulating right now can combine with Omicron because they infect cells in a different way,” explains Julio Garcia, infectious disease specialist at La Paz Hospital in Madrid.
Boris Johnson remains on the front line to defend his policy against this variant. He’s back in a vaccination center, the second time in a week. The British Prime Minister continues to urge his fellow citizens to be injected a third dose. For him, time is running out, contaminations are exploding and only 71% of the population is vaccinated.
