The Omicron variant of the coronavirus is spreading swiftly and will become the dominant variant in the British capital in the next 48 hours, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said. | More:

"While Omicron represents over 20% of cases in England, we've already seen it rise to over 44% in London and we expect it to become the dominant Covid-19 variant in the capital in the next 48 hours."

"Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron," Mr Johnson told reporters at a vaccination centre in London. A lengthy queue developed at St Thomas' Hospital in central London, just across the Thames from the Houses of Parliament, after Boris Johnson brought forward the target of offering a Covid-19 booster jab to every adult by a month.

Mr Johnson, who is grappling with a rebellion in his party over measures to curb Omicron and an outcry over parties at his Downing Street office during last year's lockdowns, said people should rush to get booster vaccines to protect "our freedoms and our way of life". From Wednesday, subject to parliament's approval, Britons will need to show a negative lateral flow test to enter nightclubs and large events, with an exemption for those who are double vaccinated.

So when the next variant comes along how many jabs then will i need For Omicrom i need 3 more jabs of the same vaccination I've already had..can't get my head around it ?🤔🤔🤔

The British up take of the vaccine is really low. Some suburbs of London only have about 50-60%

Why do people still not get we are being played! This Christmas bug! The Government knew it had broken out in Africa but still allowed planes to fly into GB. Now even though it is very mild the Government are scaremongering, saying it is extremely dangerous. Get a grip people!

Me can into journalism too! ...covid, covid, tidal wave, covid, omicron, Boris Johnson, covid, restriction, omicron, delta, 1896 times more infectious, UK, tidal wave, covid... See? Je suis journaliste!

Some scare tactics my god 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Great news.. Delta is being replaced by a milder variant. That's what it should read but of course this is being reported as scary and bad though. They shout more infectious (irrelevant) and whisper it's even milder and less dangerous then what was already a mild virus for most.

Bullshit. The baffoon is deflecting away from himself..

Deflecting by Boris he was never worried about the virus before
