The first cases with the new sub-variant of Omicron are also confirmed in Croatia
The Croatian Ministry of Health confirmed that the new sub-variant has officially arrived there as well.
"Currently, five cases have been confirmed with the omicron BA.2 variant. "Epidemiological processing of the infected is underway, as well as close contacts, and after collecting all relevant information, the public will be informed", said the Minister of Health Vili Berosh for N1.
This variant, about which not much is known yet, has also been registered in Denmark. According to the data so far, BA.2 is more contagious than the previous types, but does not cause severe symptoms.
The rapid spread of this subgroup suggests that it may be even more contagious than the first variant of omicron BA.1. Experts have classified BA.2 as an "observation variant".

Christian school in Australia asks parents to sign up for expulsion of gay and transgender students
A Christian school in the Australian city of Brisbane has sparked major controversy following a request it made to parents of children who are part of it. School leaders have asked for a contract to be signed that excludes a list of students who engage in "immoral" behavior, including being gay, incest, pedophilia, etc., etc.
The contract refers to homosexuality as a sin and this has caused strong reactions from parents and not only. A petition has been filed against this request, which has so far managed to collect 100,000 signatures.
