15:54Now PlayingAs more restrictions are put in place in the UK because of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of Covid, there are a lot of unanswered questions. So we've got The Times' Science Editor Tom Whipple to answer them for you.
- Just how much more transmissible is Omicron compared with Delta?
- Does the data show Omicron is a more mild disease?
- How much do the vaccines protect against Omicron?
- How does the booster help protect us against Omicron?
- Does our protection wane after a few months?
- Most importantly, what is likely to happen next?
Tom answers these and many more questions from Times Radio listeners and viewers.
