When the new Omicron variant became known last week, there was anxiety about whether it would lead governments to consider new restrictions just as the holidays arrived.
Officials in some California counties say they don’t think they’ll need to implement significant new restrictions, saying policies already in place around masks and vaccine verification are the best path for combatting the new strain of the coronavirus.

The court has six conservative justices who are skeptical of abortion rights, but only Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. focused on the narrow issue of upholding Mississippi’s 15-week ban on abortions.
