The head of the National Emergency, Skënder Brataj during an interview for Abc News, explained the phenomenon that has occurred recently. Although the number of those affected with Omicron in our country has been high, most people test negative after the tests performed.
Why does this happen?
According to Brataj, this happens because these tests were created to identify the first forms of the virus, so any person with symptoms should be isolated.
"There has always been talk of different forms and different tests. Sensitivity to the buffer varies from one variant to another as it was created for the first forms of the virus. The fact that it turns out negative should not be ruled out. If you have flu symptoms you should not go to work because the flu is also contagious. We should always think we have Omicron. The report is related to the family doctor and specialist. Up to 14 days is the right of the family doctor.
Last year it was the Delta variant that had a higher virulence that left no other virus. The Omicron has the light form but the characteristics are different. "The more other viruses get on the ground, the more Omicron is disappearing," said Brataj.
The doctor added the spread of Omicron has not yet caught the peak, but the variant can infect everyone. Both those who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated.
According to him, the beginning of February will be the peak of this pandemic and then we will have a decrease of positive cases.
