Boris Johnson will lead a news conference today along with England's chief medical officer, Sir Chris Whitty, and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.

The event at 5pm comes after multiple hospitals declared critical incidents due to staff shortages caused by coronavirus.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) told Health Secretary Sajid Javid the NHS could "ill afford" the current level of absences.

In a letter to Mr Javid it called for a "more cautious approach" to COVID restrictions in England "without further delay".

 

Meanwhile, Mr Johnson warned it would be "absolute folly" to say the pandemic was over and the public must do everything they can to help relieve the pressure on the NHS by following plan B measures.

But the Prime Minister said Omicron was "plainly milder" than other variants and that the UK was in a better position than most other countries due to the "very, very high level of vaccination".

KEY EVENTS:

  • Daily Covid tests announced for 100,000 critical workers to fight staffing crisis
  • Boris Johnson plans to 'ride out Omicron wave' without new Covid restrictions

By Lorraine King News Reporter and Ryan Merrifield Reporter, 4 Jan 2022. mirror.uk

Boris Johnson has ruled out a new lockdown despite the surge of cases and said Britain must "ride out Omicron" with England sticking to Plan B measures and everyone who can getting boosted.

The Prime Minister was speaking from Downing Street in the first press conference of 2022 alongside Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance and Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty.

He said 100,000 workers in critical industries will be told to take daily tests to prevent mass staffing shortages as of January 10.

The highly transmissible Omicron variant has been driving record high case rates and workforce shortages, while around six hospitals have declared critical incidents due to the rise in admissions.

Daily Covid cases topped 200,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic - with 218,724 infections recorded in England and Scotland as of 9am on Tuesday.

Earlier today, No10 acknowledged the NHS faced a “difficult time” but insisted the current level of coronavirus restrictions in England was “the right course”.
