UK orders isolation for new arrivals to fight Omicron COVID variant - New York Post
For those already in Britain, all close contacts of people who test positive for the Omicron variant must self-isolate for 10 days, Johnson said — whether or not they have received COVID jabs and boosters — and face masks will be made mandatory again on public transportation and in stores, but not in restaurants.“We don’t know how effective our vaccines will be” against the fast-spreading new variant that emerged in recent days in southern Africa, Johnson said.“But we have good reasons to believe they will provide at least some measure of protection,” he said.
