    • Abstract:
      The article informs that people are being confined to their homes in China due to the Omicron variant of the COVID-19, however such lockdowns could become commoner, and costly. It mentions extraordinary levels of testing, the mobilisation of armies of quarantine enforcers and contact-tracing apps have helped, meanwhile Omicron can evade the antibodies which the immune system produces in response to vaccination and infection.
