Daily COVID-19 figures could be skewed because of the rise in Omicron infections, UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Wednesday.

This means that death figures could be too high because people are dying from conditions unrelated to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, after testing positive.
