According to CNBC's information, the UK's prime minister (PM) Boris Johnson is reportedly to assess the latest statistics on the Omicron coronavirus variant and discuss the pandemic situation with his top medical advisors on Monday. Only after that, he might make a decision on whether to introduce any additional coronavirus restrictions for England later in the week.
The UK's official updates on the COVID-19 pandemic were paused over the weekend due to the Christmas holiday. On Friday, Britain set a record with the reported 122,186 new daily infections.
