Omicron variant carries 'much higher' risk of reinfection - Dr Jenny Harries
Defending the testing regime for travel to MPs, Dr Harries told the Commons Transport Committee:"Trying to prevent ingress of any infections, including Omicron, still remains a key point, particularly when we can foresee a very large wave of Omicron coming through and our health services potentially being in serious peril".Dr Jenny Harries has told MPs"travel restrictions have a time and place".
The numbers and data coming out in the next few days will be"staggering" when compared to other variants, she adds.A preliminary study into the COVID vaccine made be Sinovac has found a two dose course ineffective at providing antibodies against Omicron. A study carried out by Sinovac said that seven out of 20 people with two Coronavac doses had the antibodies to fight Omicron.
Sacha Lord, the night time economy adviser for Greater Manchester says that having a vaccine requirement for large events is feasible, but it should be an"absolute no" to put measures on small venues like pubs and bars. Dr Angelique Coetzee is asked how many patients infected with Omicron she has seen with the most severe symptoms."I haven't seen any COVID-19 pneumonia and neither have my colleagues," she adds."They're happy, they're going on holiday," she says with something resembling a shrug. Boris Johnson is creating"hysteria", the GP who also heads South Africa's Medical Association says, adding that the UK is much better vaccinated than her country.
