(Worthy News) – The chief of the World Health Organization says the new coronavirus variant Omicron could overwhelm hospitals worldwide.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Omicron was spreading globally at an unprecedented rate, with 77 countries confirming infections.
He acknowledged that Omicron might be even less deadly than COVID-19, which for most people causes flu-like symptoms though some face more severe complications.
However, “Even if Omicron does cause less severe disease, the sheer number of cases could once again overwhelm unprepared health systems,” he said.
