United States: The new variant of the new coronavirus, identified as omicron, is the second most contagious virus on the planet, surpassed only measles, according to the American infectious disease specialist Claudia Hoyen.
The Co-Director for Infection Control at University Hospitals of Cleveland Hoyen stated that it is very important for people to understand that we are in a very different situation than we were two weeks ago.
The specialist indicated that omicron is spreading like a forest fire, and that the cases seem to double every two or three days, forecasting a peak for shortly after Christmas and the following weeks.
US President Joe Biden announced that the rapidity and ease of the spread of the new strain of coronavirus will cause even vaccinated people to get Covid-19 in large numbers.
