Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that the following measures will be put into place following an increase in cases of COVID-19 as a result of the Omicron variant.

  • From Monday 13th December, you should work from home if you can.
  • From Friday 10th December, you will be required to wear a mask in cinemas and theatres and in most indoor settings.
  • COVID-19 passports will be required for nightclubs and large events in England from next week.

A total of 568 cases have been found in the UK, with concerns that it is spreading much faster than the Delta variant.

More soon.
