UK Study, Omicron Covid-19 Cases Much Likely To Need Hospitalization

According to the findings from the Health Security Agency of the United Kingdom, the Omicron covid-29 variant mainly produces mild symptoms than the other corona virus variant, but it also rapidly and also evades the corona virus vaccines.

The public health agency of the United Kingdom also said, based on the Omicron variant cases in the country, an individual infected from the Omicron variant has been estimated to be around 31 percent to 45 percent less likely to visit the emergency department of the hospitals as compared to one with the delta corona virus variant.

The scientists of the United Kingdom has also cautioned that, any of the decrease in the seriousness need to be weighed against the fact that, the Omicron covid-19 variant has been spreading more fast than the delta covid-19 variant and has been more able to evade the corona virus vaccines.
