The Omicron variant triggered the fourth wave of COVID-19 infections in South Africa. .
In contrast to the Delta variant, researchers
found Omicron infections to be
70% less likely to cause severe disease.

But the study also shows that in instances of hospitalization, Omicron infections are
just as severe as other variants.

Initially reported by South African scientists on November 25, the new variant has caused a
record rise in the country's infections.

Research shows Omicron infections
often result in higher viral loads.
It is not possible to say whether
this is due to inherent differences
in virulence or whether this is due to higher population immunity. , Paul Hunter, professor of medicine, University of East Anglia, via 'Bloomberg'.
