The Kuwaiti embassy in the United Kingdom has encouraged its citizens to leave the country due to a "significant and unprecedented" increase in Omicron cases there, the Gulf country's state news agency reported on Sunday.
The daily number of new COVID-19 infections across Britain rose to a record 189,846 on Friday, far higher than during previous peaks.
New restrictions in England to slow the spread of COVID-19 will only be introduced as a last resort, health minister Sajid Javid said Saturday.
"We must give ourselves the best chance of living alongside the virus and avoiding strict measures in the future," he said.
