Kathmandu, December 30
The World Health Organization has warned that Omicron and Delta variants could cause a tsunami of Covid-19 infections.
On Wednesday, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros AdanomGebreis warned that the Omicron and Delta variants could cause a tsunami of Covid-19 infections. He also said that the tsunami of Covid infection would put a huge strain on the health system.
“There is a tsunami of infections as the infection is spreading more rapidly than the Omicron Delta, and I’m very concerned about that,” Gabrias told an online news conference.
Preliminary findings show that the infection of the new Omicron variant is normal, but it is not safe to look at it, Gabrias said.
The Omicron variant, initially identified in South Africa, has spread to more than a hundred countries. This variant has become active in the United States and Europe.
