Two days ago it was reported on the BBC that two British students from the same class fell ill in Corona and died shortly afterwards, a week apart.
This morning, at a cabinet meeting, I referred to the incident, but I said by mistake that they had applied to Omicron instead of saying Corona.
Indeed, they both died after contracting another strain of the corona virus, which is not an omicron.
