US President Joe Biden warned Thursday that the number of coronavirus cases is on track to increase this winter, and said “we need to be prepared” as he announced his plan to curb the spread of infection.
And the American newspaper, “Los Angeles Times”, said that what is compounding the necessity of his efforts is the arrival of the “Omicron” strain, which was first detected last week in South Africa. Although scientists are still studying the breed.
“If you are concerned about Omicron, the best thing to do is to get fully vaccinated, and then get a booster when you are eligible,” he said, adding, “We don’t think yet that additional measures will be needed.”
