The overall global risk related to the new Covid variant, Omicron is assessed as very high, said the World Health Organisation on Monday.
The WHO said that Omicron is a highly divergent variant with a high number of mutations, including 26-32 in the spike, some of which are of concern and may be associated with immune escape potential and higher transmissibility. However, there are still considerable uncertainties, added the global health body.
