The risk of hospitalization with Omicron coronavirus infection is about two-thirds lower than with Delta variant infection, according to a British study of more than 1 million cases of both forms of the disease in recent weeks, Reuters reported.
The analysis was published by the British Health Security Agency after it conducted an analysis in conjunction with the Department of Biostatistics of the Medical Research Council at Cambridge University. Nearly 530,000 cases of the Omicron variant and just over 570,000 cases of the Delta variant were analyzed.
Research shows that vaccines can work well against Omicron. The health agency reported that the risk of hospitalization with Omicron in third-dose vaccinees was reduced by 81 percent compared to unvaccinated patients.
Today’s figures show that there are 12,395 coronavirus patients in England who are hospitalized. This is an increase of nearly 1,000 people compared to yesterday, when the number of people admitted to hospital with KOVID-19 was 11,542. However, the numbers are well below the peak since January, when this figure was 34,000.
