U.K. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said he expects the omicron variant of Covid-19 to become the dominant strain in London in the next 48 hours.

Omicron now represents 20% of cases in England.

"It's vital we remember that hospitalizations and deaths lag infections by about two weeks. So we can expect those numbers to dramatically increase in the days and weeks that lie ahead," he told MPs in the House of Commons.
