Covid-19: Top WHO, US scientists say Omicron no worse than other virus variants
GENEVA, Dec 8 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The Omicron variant appears to be no worse than other coronavirus strains, top scientists from the WHO and the United States said, while cautioning that more research is needed to judge its
severity.
The hopeful assessments came as global concern grew over the heavilymutated variant, which has forced dozens of nations to re-impose borderrestrictions and raised the possibility of a return of economically punishing lockdowns.
