As a result of growing fears about the rapidly spreading omicron strain, Queen Elizabeth II has decided not to spend Christmas at the royal Sandringham estate in eastern England this year. Queen Elizabeth will spend the holidays at Windsor Castle, which is located west of London and where she has been staying for most of the flu epidemic, according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Monday.
Other members of the royal family are anticipated to pay a visit over the Christmas holiday, and precautions will be taken to prevent the infection from spreading. Coronavirus infections are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with an increase of 60 percent in a week since the omicron variation supplanted the delta version as the dominant variety. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has stated that more new restrictions may be needed to prevent the virus from spreading. His health minister has refused to rule out the possibility of implementing more regulations before the holiday season arrives.
