​​据BBC报道，当地时间12月13日，英国出现首例死于奥密克戎新变种的病例，该病例也是世界上第一例奥密克戎死亡病例。
英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊再次呼吁人们接种疫苗，死亡病例带来恐慌，疫苗预约网站都被挤崩溃了。

​At least one person in the UK had died with the Omicron variant, Boris Johnson has said as he refused to rule out imposing further restrictions across England in the run-up to Christmas.
After a warning to the government from Britain’s top health officials, revealed by the Guardian, that “stringent national measures” needed to be imposed this week, the prime minister said he would “take whatever steps are necessary to protect public health”.
Concern is mounting among scientists and in Whitehall that the Omicron variant could soon become the dominant Covid strain, weakening the defences two vaccines offer against the virus.
Pressed several times about whether a “plan C” of further restrictions would be necessary, Johnson said: “Throughout the pandemic I’ve been at great pains to stress to the public that we have to watch where the pandemic is going and we take whatever steps are necessary to protect public health.
“We think the steps that we are taking – so plan B, combined with a hugely ambitious acceleration of the booster campaign, bringing it forward by a month so we offer a booster to every adult by the end of the year – we think that’s the right approach.”
His official spokesperson said there were no plans for further restrictions but that all options were being kept under review. He acknowledged that MPs may not be consulted if further measures needed to be brought in urgently. “In extremis, we have the ability to act in the interests of public health” without the permission of parliament, he said.
Further measures could include an order for contacts of Covid cases to isolate, shutting hospitality venues or toughening the requirements for Covid passports for people to show that they have had either a booster jab or a negative lateral flow test result.
It came as a further 1,576 Omicron cases were reported across the UK on Monday, taking the total number to 4,713, the UK Health Security Agency said. Of those additional cases, 1,534 were in England, 27 in Scotland and 15 in Wales. There were no additional cases in Northern Ireland.
