UK increases COVID alert level to Level 4
The United Kingdom government announced on Sunday that it has upped the coronavirus alert level from level three to level four.
The new level indicates that the virus is in general circulation with high transmission and that the pressure on the healthcare services is “widespread and substantial or rising.” At the same time, the government urged people to get their coronavirus vaccine booster shots.
The move comes on the heels of the country’s health agency saying that Omicron cases continue to grow “rapidly” and that by mid-December it will become the dominant variant in the country.
