Kinoronahan na bilang bagong hari ng United Kingdom si King Charles III sa Westminster Abbey sa London, kahapon, Mayo 6.

Sa Westminster Abbey kinoronahan ang bawat British monarch ng Britain sa loob ng mahigit 900 taon.

Samantala, isinama ang relics mula sa orihinal na cross kung saan ipinako si Hesus sa bagong gawa na “Cross of Wales” na nasa unahan ng prosesyon sa koronasyon.

Samantala, sa pagsisimula ng bagong monarkiya, ipinakita na sa publiko ang mga bagong banknote at barya ng United Kingdom na may mukha ni King Charles III.

Magsisimula ang sirkulasyon ng mga naturang banknote at barya sa 2024, ngunit nilinaw ng Bank of England na maaari pa ring magamit ang mga salaping may larawan ng yumaong si Queen Elizabeth II.

Nakapagtala ng dalawang kaso ng Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Omicron variant ang United Kingdom (UK).

Ang dalawang kaso ay iniuugnay sa mga bumiyahe sa Southern Africa.

Sa pahayag ng UK government, matapos ang genome sequencing ay nakumpirma ng UK Health Security Agency ang COVID-19 na mayroong mutation na B.1.1.529.

“Thanks to our world-class genomic sequencing, we have been made aware of two U.K. cases of the Omicron variant,” pahayag ni Sajid Javid, Health Secretary ng Britain.

“We have moved rapidly, and the individuals are self-isolating while contact tracing is ongoing,” dagdag niya.

Dahil dito ay muling ipinag-utos ni Prime Minister Boris Johnson na gawing mandatory ang pagsusuot ng face mask sa mga pamilihan at public transportation.

“As always, I must stress this, with a new variant there are many things we just cannot know at this early stage,” ani Johnson.

“It does appear that Omicron spreads very rapidly and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated,” he added. Although the science around Omicron is still new, it is a “very extensive mutation” dagdag pa niya.
