British Education Secretary: Omicron spreading among over-50s
The Arab News reported according to Reuters that British Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said on Monday, the omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading among over-50s, but data do not suggest further restrictions are needed because of the high uptake of booster jabs by older people.
He told BBC radio: “We’re seeing leakage into the over-50s in terms of infection," adding “They are boosted — 90 percent of the over 50s are boosted.”
