Nurses aware Christmas this year could be worse than last, warns RCN
Hundreds of thousands of people are facing Christmas Day in isolation as they are ordered to stay at home due to Covid, while others queue to get booster jabs amid festive celebrations.
In the previous three days alone, the UK reported more than 300,000 Covid cases - breaking daily records in a row.
Thousands have also booked in to get booster jabs on Christmas Day, with others queuing for walk-ins.
Sajid Javid, the health secretary, urged people in England to “make the booster a part of your Christmas” - but vaccination clinics will be closed elsewhere in the UK.
Across the globe, thousands of flights have also been cancelled over the Christmas weekend - including more than 1,700 today.
