Original title: Biden: at present, the United States does not need to "block" Omicron, and will respond with vaccine
On Monday, November 29 US Eastern time, US President Biden officially announced the authorities' latest epidemic prevention measures against the new variant of Omicron. Earlier, Antony Fauci, director of the National Institute of allergy and infectious diseases, said it would take about two weeks to collect more information about the Omicron variant. Meanwhile, the Omicron variant has arrived in North America. Canadian officials announced on the 28th that there were two confirmed cases in Ontario.
Biden said that the United States will not further restrict travel or shut down the economy due to Omicron. The United States does not need shutdown and blockade this winter, and the U.S. government will not restrict personal gatherings to fight the new virus variant.
(Omicron virus variant) is a factor of concern, but not a factor of panic... If people are vaccinated and wear masks, there is no need to block... We don't think additional measures are needed at present.
When COVID-19 was rampant last year, many states and city governments in the United States imposed restrictions on businesses and large gatherings to stop the spread of the virus. With the widespread vaccination and use of coronavirus vaccine in the United States, officials have curbed this restriction; The federal government generally cannot maintain such measures, but it can recommend that states or cities adopt such measures.
Meanwhile, Biden said he would announce his strategy to fight the epidemic in winter later this week.
On Thursday, I will put forward a detailed measure to solve how we will fight against COVID-19 this winter, not through closures or blockades, but through wider vaccinations, booster needles, testing ranges and other means.
Biden also encourages people to wear masks when contacting people indoors to prevent the spread of the virus. At the same time, the government currently believes that there is no need to adjust the formula of the new crown vaccine, but is working with Pfizer and Modena to study emergency plans to provide new vaccines or enhancers when needed.
According to an earlier article on Wall Street, on Monday, Pfizer CEO Albert bourla said that he had "very high confidence" in the effectiveness of the existing Pfizer treatment pills for the new crown variant Omicron; Meanwhile, Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, said that it would take several months to develop and deliver vaccines specifically for Omicron, and it would be much faster to prepare 100 micrograms of vaccine booster needles with higher doses.
In addition to working with vaccine manufacturers to develop emergency plans, Biden is also instructing federal agencies to prepare to approve additional vaccines or enhancers customized to resist new coronavirus variants as soon as possible.
Biden said the White House also instructed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and prevention to use "the fastest available procedures and take no detours" to approve these potential vaccines and put them on the market.
Previously, many countries have restarted the international travel ban. The article on Wall Street mentioned earlier that the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States and Canada have restricted the entry of tourists from several countries in southern Africa. Britain suspended flights, included six African countries in its "Red List" of travel, and quarantined passengers requiring arrival in hotels to curb the spread of Omicron virus.
The United States just opened its borders for fully vaccinated tourists on November 8. Last Friday, Biden, together with other governments, ordered restrictions on travel to the United States from South Africa and seven other countries.
