BREAKING NEWS

Omicron cases seem less severe compared with previous variants, new studies suggest. But experts warned that hospitals could still be flooded.
Wednesday, December 22, 2021 3:01 PM EST

The research, conducted in Britain and released on Wednesday, indicated that Omicron is less likely to put people in hospitals.

“What you’ve heard is a qualified good-news story,” Dr. Jim McMenamin, incident director for Covid-19 at Public Health Scotland, said at a news briefing at which he and colleagues presented data gleaned from Scottish hospitals.

While the results are heartening, Dr. McMenamin and other experts still warned that hospitals could be flooded with Omicron cases, because the variant transmits so much more than previous ones.


Do something positive.
