Warning of Omicron’s fatal tendencies

Allergy and immunologist Vladimir Polibok said that a sneeze or a cough is enough to simultaneously infect 100 people with the Omicron virus.

The immunologist stressed that the new strain is the most contagious of all the previous variants of COVID-19 and other diseases. Because of this, in the future, there may be an “exorbitant burden on health care”, which may affect the provision of needed assistance.

I think even talking, normal breathing and yawning are enough to release a mist containing particles of saliva and mucus, as there will be enough virus to infect another person. If someone coughs or sneezes, that number will be enough for a hundred people at a time, Polybok said.

He added that the incubation period for the omicron has been shortened, and symptoms already appear three to four days after infection with the new type of coronavirus.
