Lockdowns drohen in Europa während UK Covid Fälle steigen

By Ninian Carter

December 20, 2021 - Europa verstärkt den Kampf gegen Ausbreitung der Omicron Variante
nachdem in UK mehr als 540.000 neue Covid-19 Fälle in einer Woche gezählt wurden.

European countries are introducing more curbs to fight a surge in Covid-19 infections, including lockdowns and stricter travel restrictions, just as people try to enjoy the holiday season.

Weary populations looks set to have the Christmas and New Year holiday period disrupted again, as governments face critical decisions to try and stem the spread of the highly transmissible omicron Covid-19 strain.

To confuse matters further, debate rages over whether omicron produces milder symptoms than previous strains, like delta, and as such heavy restrictions may be unnecessary.
