COVID: WHO sees growing proof Omicron causes milder symptoms
WHO Incident Manager Abdi Mahamud says studies point to the Omicron variant infecting upper part of the body, rather than lungs.

A World Health Organization (WHO) official has said evidence is growing that the Omicron variant of the coronavirus is affecting the upper respiratory tract, which results in milder symptoms than previous strains.

“We are seeing more and more studies pointing out that Omicron is infecting the upper part of the body. Unlike the other ones, that could cause severe pneumonia,” WHO Incident Manager Abdi Mahamud told a media briefing in Geneva.

While hailing the potentially “good news”, Mahamud stressed that Omicron’s high transmissibility means it will become dominant within weeks in many places – thus posing a threat in countries where a high portion of the population remains unvaccinated.

His remarks on the reduced risks of severe disease chime with other data, including a recent study from South Africa. However, Mahamud also sounded a note of caution, calling the country an “outlier” since it has a young population among other factors.

Asked about whether an Omicron-specific vaccine was needed, Mahamud said it was too early to say but noted the decision required global coordination and should not be left to the commercial sector to decide alone.

A recent study, which is yet to be peer reviewed, showed that when compared with both Delta and the original coronavirus, the Omicron variant was quicker at getting into the upper airways and lungs, but much slower at infiltrating the lung tissue itself.

A combined United States and Japanese study – still under peer review – found that rodents that were infected with Omicron had less lung damage, lost less weight and were less likely to die than those infected with Delta.

Omicron variant could be a ‘Christmas gift’, says German health expert
The Omicron variant could be a “Christmas gift” and may make the pandemic end sooner, a German clinical epidemiologist has said.

Professor Karl Lauterbach, who is running to be Germany’s next health minister, said the new variant could be positive if it causes milder illness.

He suggested that Omicron has so many mutations - 32 on the spike protein alone, which is twice as many as Delta - meaning it could be optimised to infect and be less severe, in line with how most respiratory viruses evolve.

It comes as experts in South Africa claim Omicron is causing milder symptoms than previous variants.

South African infectious disease expert Professor Salim Abdool Karim said existing Covid vaccines should be “highly effective” against the Omicron variant.

Professor Abdool Karim, who served as the South African government’s chief adviser during the first wave of the pandemic, said he believed vaccines would protect against hospitalisation and severe symptoms of coronavirus.

But he added it was “too early” to say whether Omicron, which has triggered many countries into reintroducing coronavirus restrictions, led to more severe clinical symptoms than previous variants, such as Delta.

He told a news conference on Monday: “Based on what we know and how the other variants of concern have reacted to vaccine immunity, we can expect that we will still see high effectiveness for hospitalisation and severe disease, and that protection of the vaccines is likely to remain strong.”

South African doctors who have treated Covid patients say Omicron so far appears to be producing mild symptoms, including a dry cough, fever and night sweats.

Professor Abdool Karim, a professor at South Africa’s University of KwaZulu-Natal and Columbia University in the United States, said no “red flags” had been raised so far.

Elsewhere on Monday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said the emergence of the variant serves a reminder that “Covid-19 is not done with us”.

Addressing a special session of the World Health Assembly, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that “hard-won gains could vanish in an instant”.

He said: “The emergence of the highly-mutated Omicron variant underlines just how perilous and precarious our situation is.

“South Africa and Botswana should be thanked for detecting, sequencing and reporting this variant, not penalised.”
