WHO- So far, no fatalities are related to the new variant of Covid-19, Omicron
The World Health Organization has recently stated that there is no room for panic about the new variant of the coronavirus, but simply that vigilance is needed. To date, Omicron has spread to 40 countries, but there is still no study showing whether the new variant has a higher level of transmissibility or better able to avoid vaccines.
