The risk posed by the Omicron variety remains "very high," according to the World Health Organization, as COVID-19 case counts increased by 11% globally last week. According to the WHO's weekly epidemiological bulletin, Omicron is responsible for rapid viral surges in various countries, including somewhere it has already surpassed the formerly dominant Delta variant.

Early data from the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Denmark — which has the world's highest infection incidence per person — revealed that Omicron had a lower risk of hospitalization than Delta.

However, more information was needed to fully comprehend Omicron's severity in terms of clinical signs including oxygen usage, mechanical ventilation, and mortality.
