Infectious scientist Uga Dumpis commented on the new form of omicron on the microblogging site Twitter.
According to the infectologist, the omicron strain is the same SARS-CoV-2 virus with the same mode of transmission.
“Vaccination and even primary vaccination will also be the most important task and will have to be combined with restrictions on human contact depending on the number of patients in hospitals,” writes U. Dumpis.
