Five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Christmas morning.
1. Push for vaccinations on Christmas Dayas the NHS continues its push to increase vaccinations in response to the Omicron variant. Eight locations, including London, Manchester, Swindon and Eastbourne, will be offering appointments, with volunteers giving up part of their time on Christmas Day. Most centres will be closed until at least Monday, however.
the head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales has urged the government to keep churches open . Speaking before a packed Midnight Mass, Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols told the BBC he believed it had been demonstrated that churches were "not places where we spread the virus". "I think this country has shown that people can make good judgements themselves. We're at that point of saying we understand the risk," he said.
