COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the newest variant is known as the Omicron variant. The Omicron variant was first reported to the World Health Organization from South Africa on 24 November 2021. The Omicron virus was first seen in humans in 2000, but this latest variant is now causing the most concern. Here are some important facts about this new strain.
The WHO is concerned about a new strain of the virus, known as Covid-19 omicron. The report notes that the Omicron variant is more contagious than previous strains, and may pose a threat to travelers who are not immune to the virus. This is why travel restrictions have been implemented in the United States and Japan. However, the CDC warns against travel bans, as travel restrictions may actually worsen the situation.
The latest outbreak of Covid-19 is in India. According to the government’s statistics, India is now the second largest country to experience the disease. The number of new cases is on the rise in the U.S., where it was first discovered. The country also has a very high R naught value of 2.69, a symptomatic sign of a fast-growing epidemic. Approximately 108 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in India, and the death toll is now 4,831 – a rise of almost five times since 2011.
The Omicron virus is more prevalent than the Delta or Alpha variants, and has now been found in more than 50 countries. The first outbreak of COVID-19 in South Africa was in 1997. Since then, it has spread throughout the United States and Canada. It was confirmed in the United States on Dec. 1 of this year, and doctors continue to monitor cases as they emerge. The current COVID-19 treatment options are not effective in cases where the omicron or delta variant is present.
