The World Health Organization has given some relieving information about the new variant. Measures taken against the Delta variant will be the basis for the fight against the new variant, according to the WHO.
Some countries have closed the border to prevent the spread of the Omicron variant. This will give more time to prepare for the fight against the new variant, the WHO said. Along with India, Omicron has penetrated in 3 dozen countries. The number of patients in Africa is growing rapidly. Some things about omicron are not yet clear. Questions such as whether the new variant is more contagious, so that people will become seriously ill, and whether it can penetrate the security created by vaccines, have not yet been answered.
