Omicrons can be easily transmitted to vaccinated and once infected people : WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that a new variant of Covid Omicrons will be easily transmitted to people who have been vaccinated and once infected, but its symptoms are normal.
“Recent data from South Africa show that omicrons can spread rapidly to people who have been infected or who have been vaccinated once,” said Tedro Adhanom Ghebrius, head of the World Health Organization.
However, he said more data needs to be studied before concluding that it is spreading rapidly. He also requested the affected countries to provide clear data on the symptoms of Omicron. The Omicron variant spread in South Africa has now spread to 45 countries including Nepal.
Affected countries have tightened their borders and imposed various sanctions. Tedros has also urged the public not to be negligent about the virus.
