As the world is in trouble due to the large-scale surge of the new coronavirus, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that it is dangerous to imply that Omicron is just a “mild” disease.
Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist and WHO technical leader for Covid-19, said: “Yes, an overly simplistic narrative can be dangerous. Although we think the risk of hospitalization is lower compared to Delta, it implies Omicron It is “just a mild” disease that is dangerous. The case is shocking even if the risk is low. We will see hospitals overwhelmed. Please be careful.” The WHO has repeatedly warned governments to strengthen measures to respond to changes from Omicron. There has been a surge in new coronavirus cases caused by humans. Earlier, it also warned of the Covid tsunami and requested cancellation of events and gatherings.
