Don’t underestimate Omicron, WHO chief warns
The Omicron variant is“probably” now present in most of the world’s countries and it would be a mistake to dismiss the COVID-19 strain as“mild”, said the head of the UN health agency (WHO) on Tuesday.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, told reporters from WHO headquarters in Geneva that the variant was now present in 77 countries.
