LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has decided not to spend Christmas at the royal Sandringham estate in eastern England amid concerns about the fast-spreading omicron variant.

Coronavirus infections are surging in Britain — up 60% in just a week — as omicron has replaced delta as the dominant coronavirus variant.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said more new restrictions may have to be introduced to slow the spread.
