Omicron “Horse has bolted” – UK scientist

Published

on

The latest travel rule changes across the UK are “a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted,” according to a leading British scientist.

Prof Mark Woolhouse says the new rules will come “too late” to make a “material difference” to stop the spread of omicron across the UK.

The changes include pre-departure tests for people arriving in the UK and Nigeria going on the travel red list.

But the UK government is hinting more countries could join the list, as omicron spreads around the world.

From Tuesday, travellers aged 12 and over will be required to show proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow test taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure.

British Health Secretary Sajid Javid promises the measures are temporary.

Nigeria will also be added to the travel red list of countries from Monday, which means UK or Irish nationals, or UK residents returning from the country must quarantine in a hotel for 10 days.

But travel and airline groups have criticised the new rules, calling them a hammer blow to the struggling industry.

The British government promises ministers will stay “eternally vigilant” to the risks associated with the Omicron variant and that measures.

Masked up and worried – British citizens combat the new omicron wave.

Citing this week’s drop in the number of Covid hospital admissions and deaths and the “success” of the vaccination rollout.

“We have steadily and steadfastly created the resilient defences which means we can enjoy Christmas.”

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
