LONDON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Sky news said on Tuesday that
British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab had misspoken when he
said 250 people were in hospital with the Omicron variant of the
novel coronavirus.
When asked for a comment, a spokesman for the justice
ministry told Reuters to call the health ministry and suggested
Reuters use different figures. The health ministry did not
immediately respond to a request for comment.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Monday that 10 people
were in hospital with Omicron.
