China Reports 1st Omicron Case

China reported on Tuesday, the first Omicron case in the northern city of Tianjin, according to National Health Commission.

The infection was discovered in a traveller who arrived in the city from overseas on December 9.

It is worth mentioning that, the new Omicron version, which was discovered initially in South Africa, has heightened global anxieties because it is thought to be more deadly than the delta variant.

The World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as a ‘variant of concern’ on Friday.
