SINGAPORE, KOMPAS.TV – The Omicron Covid-19 variant is expected to dominate and rule the world in about six months.
This was revealed by Doctor Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious disease expert from a Singapore medical institution.
He emphasized that the latest variant of the Corona virus will dominate the world for a period of three to six months.
Therefore, Dr Leong emphasized the need for faster vaccine development.

However, according to him, it will take between three or six months to prove the vaccine provides immunity to the Omicron variant.
“Honestly, Omicron will dominate and control the whole world in three to six months,” he told CNBC quoted from Daily Star.
He also expressed his opinion when asked about the vaccine specifically for the latest variant.
“Good idea, but frankly it’s impractical,” he said.
“We can’t rush to get a vaccine out in a timely manner, and by the time the vaccine arrives it’s believed almost everyone will be infected with Omicron given it’s highly contagious,” he added.
