As you might be aware of, the COVID cases are continuously growing worldwide, irrespective of any country. The situation has become even worse due to the new variant of the virus called omicron. However, with such a situation around, the UK government has not put up any restrictions in granting the number of VISAs, instead, they have been in the favor of increasing it.
