Health authorities in South Korea have announced the first two deaths of the coronavirus' omicron strain.

A spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control, Park Young, told a media briefing that Ghent flooring would be made for samples leaving no room for doubt that it was the new variant.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that the state has significantly expanded the amount of respirators and oxygen tanks available to the country’s hospitals, but so far has not recorded a significant increase in morbidity. 

Experts believe that the omicron strain is behind the serious outbreak in the country, but the lack of genetic flooring tests makes it difficult to identify the variant.

Nearly half a million people have died from corona disease in India and nearly 35 million people have been infected with the virus since the outbreak of the plague. 

 UK

The UK is recording particularly high infection rates in the corona with England alone diagnosing 162,572 new cases of the corona virus.

While the number of hospitalizations and deaths remains significantly lower than previous epidemics of the plague, London authorities do not intend to impose further restrictions on the public at this stage.

Local Health Minister Sajid Javid announced yesterday that authorities would consider adding restrictions to the canal only in the case of a "last resort". 

China

Public outrage in China is making it difficult for the regime to “zero infection” immediately after several cases of rare public protests were recorded following the ongoing closure of Xi’an city, where more than 13 million residents are locked in their homes after more than a thousand cases of corona disease were detected in the city. 

What ignited the protest, which focuses on the Thessinian social network Vivo, is a video in which state corona inspectors are seen brutally beating a man who came with a steamed bun to a residential building where he does not live.

The public protest prompted the local police to issue an apology announcing that the beating inspectors had been suspended and imprisoned for a week. 

Meanwhile, morbidity in the city of Xi'an has dropped significantly in the past two days and China hopes that they will soon be able to remove some of the restrictions and allow the municipal economy to recover.

South Africa the decline in morbidity continues after it was the first country to register a significant outbreak of the Omicron variant in October. 

Dr. Glenda Gray, chair of the state Medical Research Council, told American National Radio: "We've been seeing a significant drop in infection for some time. We're constantly monitoring. And far fewer deaths from the virus than in previous discoveries. "
