The World Health Organization on Friday said the Covid omicron variant has been detected in 38 countries, up from 23 two days ago, with early data suggesting the strain is more contagious than delta.

“We do see an increasing growth rate, we see increasing numbers of omicron being detected,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s Covid-19 technical lead, said during a Q&A livestreamed on the group’s social media channels Friday. “But we have reports of omicron in 38 countries in all six WHO regions.”

Hong Kong bans non-resident arrivals from 13 more countries due to Omicron

Hong Kong: Vaksin Covid-19 sedia ada mungkin tidak dapat melawan varian baharu Omicron dan suntikan baharu mengambil masa berbulan-bulan untuk dibangunkan, kata Ketua Pengeluar Vaksin Amerika Syarikat (AS), Moderna kepada Financial Times.

Ketua Eksekutif Moderna, Stephane Bancel berkata, data berhubung keberkesanan vaksin semasa terhadap varian baharu itu hanya akan diketahui dalam dua minggu lagi tetapi saintis tidak optimis mengenainya.
