COVID-19: WHO sees more evidence that Omicron variant causes milder symptoms
Description
January 4, 2022
World Health Organization (WHO) Incident Manager Abdi Mahamud said on Tuesday more evidence is emerging that the Omicron COVID-19 variant is affecting the upper respiratory tract, causing milder symptoms than previous variants. However, he said Omicron will become dominant within weeks in many places, posing a threat in countries where a high portion of the population remains unvaccinated.
