Prime Minister Boris Johnson has again dismissed reports that new corona control rules could be in place in Britain before Christmas.
The Omicron virus variant is spreading rapidly in Britain. Thus, of course new restrictions could be announced before Christmas, and it was rumored that this time too the Christmas holiday could not be celebrated.
Correspondingly, in the last 24 hours, it has been reported that more than 90,000 people have been newly infected with corona in Britain.
I wanted to confirm that people can go ahead with their Christmas plans.
But we’re keeping a constant eye on the data and can’t rule out any further measures after Christmas.
Please continue to be cautious, follow the guidance and Get Boosted Now: https://t.co/VKGvuQ4lzq pic.twitter.com/506RPwP94h

Shortly after the news broke, Prime Minister Boris Johnson posted a video on his Twitter page about the spread of the corona and the steps the government could take.
In that, there is currently no chance of a curfew again due to the lack of sufficient evidence to prove the extent of the corona spread.
At the same time there is no doubt that the omega virus is constantly spreading at a faster pace than we have seen before. Because of this, I know people are skeptical that their Christmas plans will be affected.
Thus, what I can tell people tonight is that we can not rule out any additional activities after Christmas. We are constantly monitoring corona vulnerability data.
We are constantly monitoring the severity of the omega, the rate of hospitalization, and the uncertainty about the impact of the third vaccine. If the situation worsens, we are ready to take action if necessary. This means that people can celebrate their Christmas plans.
The situation is stable. At the same time I urge everyone to act with caution to protect you and your loved ones, especially those who are vulnerable.
Follow Corona’s guidelines. Wear a face mask when needed at home and check before visiting elderly or vulnerable relatives, he said.
