Omicron Usa variant, new measures but no lockdown

In the speech with which tomorrow he will present “new measures” to fight Covid, and in particular the spread of the Omicron variant, Joe Biden will not announce closures and lockdowns. This is what the spokesman of the White House, Jen Psaki said. “It will not be a speech to close the country – he said in the briefing – it will be a clear and direct speech to the Americans on the benefits of the vaccine, on the steps we will take to increase access to vaccines and tests and on the risks for the unvaccinated” . The president will say clearly that “the unvaccinated will continue to increase the number of hospitalizations and deaths”. “To be clear – he concluded – Covid 19 for the fully vaccinated is not the same threat it was in March 2020”.
