The United Kingdom has joined the list of countries to cut coronavirus isolation to five days. Many workers have not shown up at their respective locations since Omicron became an issue.
Omicron has taken the pandemic to another level, with a severe infection surge. Schools have closed down alongside physical workplaces. The hospitals are recording alarming rates of new patients every day.
The decision to cut the coronavirus isolation to five days was a decision the government needed to make fast, as everything was at stake.
There is a potential danger to lives and properties if the UK keeps recording new cases. Whatever resources they can pull to stop or reduce the deadly spread, they should go for it.
