COVID-19: Omicron fears see high streets struggle this Christmas

Uncertainty hits the high street with the Omicron variant scaring people away to stay safe for Christmas. Even the Queen has decided to trade in her traditional Sandringham retreat for celebrations at Windsor instead.

The Prime Minister says the Government can not rule out harsher restrictions over the festive season as Omicron COVID-19 cases continue to stay high. Boris Johnson instead urged the public to ‘act cautiously’.

Sky’s Home Editor Jason Farrell went to Windsor to see how people were preparing for their holidays.
