The Omikejon strain has become a "serious threat" to Britain.
British Prime Minister Johnson recently said that the Olmikron strain has become a "very serious threat" to the United Kingdom, and this statement is being confirmed by more and more data.
The data released by the British government on the 19th showed that the cumulative number of cases of Infection of the Aumechjong strain in the country has exceeded 37,000 cases, but the British Health Minister Javid pointed out on the same day that there is a gap in the data of the Infection of the Omikeron strain, and the actual number of infection cases is "significantly higher than" the official data released. He further confirmed that about 60% of the new COVID-19 cases in England are currently caused by the Olmikeron strain. At the same time, he said that stricter epidemic prevention measures will not be ruled out before the 25th of this month.
The epidemic situation is grim
Experts: The U.S. has insufficient COVID-19 testing capacity
Under the dual influence of Delta strain and Olmiqueron strain, the epidemic situation in the United States is not optimistic.
