Boris Johnson says it would be “crazy” to think the pandemic is over

–

“Although Ómicron is clearly softer than other variants, it would be crazy” to think that the pandemic ended, “he stressed, in statements to the British media.

He also said that most people in intensive care have not been vaccinated or do not have the booster dose.

However, he argued that the government “will continue to monitor” how long people are infectious after contracting the virus to see if they can reduce isolation times.

“The key is that we do not want people to return to the workplace when they are still infected,” he stressed.

For now, people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who have coronavirus can stop self-isolating after seven days if they test negative on days six and seven.

On the other hand, in relation to the shortage of personnel in hospitals because they have contracted the virus, Johnson said that hospitals will face “considerable pressure” in the coming weeks.
