The new variant of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) virus Omicron is spreading rapidly in many places, and more and more places have recorded their first confirmed cases, including Berlin, the capital of Germany, Hawaii in the United States, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. Australia has its first local case. In addition, two more countries have banned travelers from Hong Kong from entering.
Germany announced its first confirmed case of Omicron in Berlin, the capital, on December 3. Government policy is targeting people who don’t vaccinate. Outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor Olaf Scholz reached an agreement with 16 state governments and agreed to restrict the movement of unvaccinated people and only allow them to enter places selling daily necessities.
