England is moving to Plan B in response to the risks of the Omicorn Variant. Based on analysis of UK data by UK Health Security Agency, it shows:

• Omicorn displays a reduction in immune protection against infection.
• Omicorn can increase household transmission risk, increase secondary attack rate

UK COVID-19 alert level increased from Level 3 to Level 4：

Plan B – new regulations

• Wear a face covering in most indoor public places and on public transport
• Get tested and self-isolate if required (including Daily Testing of Close Contacts *)
• Work from Home if you can
• Get vaccinated (including Boosters)
• the NHS Covid Pass will be in required in certain places where large crowds gather
• Let fresh air in if you meet indoors. Meeting outdoors is safer

*Daily Testing for Contacts of Covid: from 14 December, people who are fully vaccinated and identified as a contact of someone with Covid 19 – whether Omicron or not – should take an NHS rapid lateral flow test every day for 7 days to help slow the spread of Covid, as an alternative to self-isolation.

CCC-B’s scheduled activities will still run as we have put Covid-safety measures in place. All visitors will be temperature-checked on arrival, must sign in and give contact info for Test & Trace purposes, and observe our rules for everyone’s safety including their own.

新冠疫情新闻快讯：2021年12月16日

为了应对 Omicron “奥密克戎”变异株迅速传播造成的风险，英格兰已进入防疫B 计划。根据英国卫生安全局对英国疫情数据的分析，显示

• “奥密克戎”变异株，会显著降低人体被病毒感染的免疫保护效力
• “奥密克戎”变异株在家庭成员或同居所人士之间的传播力明显增强，人们二次感染新冠的风险也会增加

英国新冠疫情警戒级别从第 3 级提高到第 4 级：

防疫B计划——新规定

• 在大多数室内公共场所和公共交通工具上必须戴口罩

• 及时做好检测和自我隔离（包括密切接触者的日常检测*）

• 如果可以，请在家工作

• 接种疫苗（包括新冠第三剂加强针）

• 在出入某些人群聚集的场所时，需要出示 NHS 新冠通行证

• 如果您在室内与人会面，请打开窗户，可以让新鲜空气流通。 在户外会面，会更安全

*新冠密切接触者每日检测：作为自我隔离的替代方法，从 12 月 14 日起，完全接种疫苗的人士在被确定为新冠密切接触者时（无论是“奥密克戎”变异株或是其他新冠变种），须连续7天每天进行 LFT新冠快速检测，以减缓新冠病毒的传播。

伯明翰华人社区中心已经采取了新冠防护安全措施，现有计划的活动仍将进行。所有访客将在到达时需要接受体温检查，并需要提供联系信息，以便检测和追踪。当您在中心期间，请遵守防疫的规定，以确保您自己和他人的安全。
