Geneva: The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that more than 90 million cases of infection have been reported since the Omicron variant of the corona virus was revealed 10 weeks ago, which came to the fore in the year 2020. more than the total number of cases. Significantly, the Kovid-19 epidemic started in the year 2020.

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus cautioned that although Omicron is not as deadly as other forms of the virus, it still needs to be avoided. He said that very frightening news of an increase in the number of deaths is coming from most areas of the world.

Omicron’s sub-variant spreads faster than original variant: Research

A subvariant of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is more infectious than its parent variant. This has been claimed in a new research conducted in Denmark. Researchers led by the Statens Serum Institute (SSI) analyzed the prevalence of Omicron’s basic variant (ba.1) and subvariate (ba.2) among 1,7945 people in 8541 households. They found that the BA.2 variant engulfed people with a firepower of 39 percent, compared to 29 percent in the case of the BA.1. This is also believed to be the main reason for BA.2 to infect more people in less time.

The SSI researchers also found that people who were not vaccinated were significantly more likely to be infected with BA.1 and BA.2 than those who had been fully vaccinated or had received a booster dose. However, the study has yet to be reviewed. It has been shown that those patients infected with BA.2 have a higher risk of becoming carriers of the virus than others who have not received a single dose of anti-Covid vaccine. The research team also included researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Statistics Denmark and the Technical University of Denmark.
