The Real Danger of the Omicron Variant Will Be Clear in a Month

The real danger posed by the new Omicron variant will only become clear in a month. This was reported by the Independent, citing British scientists.

Experts from a British scientific group believe that it will take a month to ascertain the risks of the Omicron variant. According to scientists, if there is no sharp increase in hospitalizations due to the Omicron variant in a month, it may be okay to take a bit of a 'breather'. However, in the case of a significant deterioration in the situation, the level of danger posed by the variant could be understood in just a few weeks.

It is noteworthy that the new coronavirus 'Omicron' variant was discovered in South Africa and has been classified as a variant of concern by the WHO.
