Even if omicron It is spreading rapidly around the world, appears to be much less serious than previously feared, and has raised hopes that the coronavirus pandemic can be overcome.

However, the person in charge of emergencies of the WHO, Catherine Smallwoodhe told AFP that rising infection rates could have the opposite effect.

• World record: the United States registers more than a million cases of coronavirus in 24 hours
• France recorded a record of nearly 300,000 coronavirus cases in 24 hours
• Anti-vaccine husbands who have been married for 25 years died of coronavirus the same day

“The more it spreads omicron, the more it is transmitted and the more it is replicated and the more likely it is to generate a new variant “, dijo Smallwood.

Europe has registered more than one hundred million cases of covid since the start of the pandemic, and more than five million new cases in the last week of 2021, “almost overshadowing what we have seen in the past,” he stressed.

“We are in a very dangerous phase, we are seeing infection rates increase very significantly in Western Europe and the full impact of this is not yet clear”he added.

According Smallwood, the UK health crisis, caused by staff shortages due to the wave of omicron infections, could be repeated in other European countries.
