The novel Coronavirus pandemic is a big disaster for the entire world. While almost all the nations faced the wrath of the virus, a few nations like the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, India, and others were severely impacted by the virus and four to five countries accounted for a major share of the Coronavirus infections.
When everyone hoped to get a sigh of hope, the new variant was detected in South Africa and entered the United Kingdom making people face one of the worst periods they ever faced. For the first time, the fresh infections passed the one lakh mark in a single day as the Omicron is spreading its wings.
As the single-day Coronavirus infections have reached the highest since the emergence of the Omicron variant of Coronavirus in the country, the administration had focused on precaution measures and gathered the required vaccine doses to administer the booster doses for the people in the nation.
As of now, more than 30 million people have reportedly taken the vaccine doses and the United Kingdom administration kept itself busy with making arrangements to administer the booster doses for the rest of the people.
In the wake of the tense situation, the Pfizer-BioNTech shot was cleared by the concerned regulators to administer to children between five to eleven to save them from catching the virus. To grant permission for the vaccine doses, the regulators took the findings of the clinical data of the vaccine doses.
To effectively fight the Omicron variant of the novel Coronavirus, the United Kingdom administration signed agreements with two pharma giants to secure as many antiviral drugs as possible. The Prime Minister announced the same while addressing the countrymen. The antiviral drugs are believed to be effective enough to bring down the hospitalisations and effectiveness of the virus.
As around 106,122 new infections were detected in the fresh Coronavirus detection tests, the United Kingdom government is making sure that it is decked up to tackle the situation. With the arrival of the massive stock of antiviral drugs, the administration is hoping to bring the situation under control.
