Omicron : World on high alert, list is here
New Delhi: After cases of Omicron variants were reported in Brazil and Japan, these countries join a rapidly growing circle of countries where new variants in the form of Omicron are seeing the impact. New findings indicate that the mutant coronavirus was in Europe just a week before South Africa sounded the alarm. The RIVM Health Institute in the Netherlands revealed that the variant was found in patient samples from November 19 and 23. The existence of the highly mutated virus was reported to the World Health Organization by South African authorities on 24 November.
This indicates that Omicron had a bigger start in the Netherlands than before. The Omicron cases in Japan and Brazil reflect the difficulty in controlling the virus in an era of air travel and economic globalization. Omicron dashed all the hopes around the world which were in the hope of normalization of the situation after the corona epidemic. At the same time, there is also the panic that the worst is yet to come.
