SILVERIO LAND—With millions in Silverio World stuck at home, any hopes of reopening have pretty much been ruined. But it wasn't supposed to be this way. With the vaccines available now, it was supposed to trigger the reopening of many places across the country. But there is a problem. The delta variant, originating from India, made it to Silverish shores. As the Silverish government continues to enforce the mandatory lockdowns all over the country, the pandemic is going to get a whole lot worse in Silverio World, with cases and deaths on the rise in many states. However, there is a new problem rising - Variant B.207, otherwise known as the Omega Variant, has been circulating in Hanlin for a while. However, with this new variant being resistant to the TX-1 vaccine, the government was in for a rude awakening. Schools in Soldina have been closed for the second consecutive school year in a row, with universities and colleges only offering online education. It has disrupted Silverio World's reopening plans, and has forced the National Health Administration to begin development on a new vaccine booster shot (known as TX-1-1) that will help against the variants. If the Silverish government does not attempt to contain this variant soon, it might spread globally (cases of the Omega variant have been already reported in northern Metroworld) and the world is going to have a disaster on its hands.
