British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office has rejected a minister’s suggestion that Christmas parties should be cancelled or scaled back to prevent the spread of the new Omicron COVID-19 variant.

Downing Street said on Thursday that rules dictating Christmas party sizes are not in the current set of COVID-19 regulations.
