Recently, a new corona strain called omicron is spreading around the world, exposing the United States and Europe to a new wave of infections and hospitalizations.
At a meeting in Geneva on November 26, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a statement officially identifying B.1.1529 as omicron, placing it in a worrying category alongside alpha, beta, delta, and gamma. In a statement, the organization advised countries around the world to help better understand the strain by increasing monitoring and genetic testing.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported that the incidence of omicrons doubles every 36 to 72 hours, indicating that the new strain is "growing significantly" compared to the delta.
