The Dutch government announced today a full lockdown as of tomorrow until January 14 due to the spread of the Coronavirus, Dutch media reported.

Europe is following up with great frustration the rise in daily Coronavirus cases, in addition to the Omicron variant that represents a new threat to  vaccination.

The new Omicron version, which was discovered initially in South Africa, has heightened global anxieties because it is thought to be more deadly than the delta variant.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as a ‘variant of concern’ on Friday.
