German health officials announced today, Friday, that two new cases of the "Omicron" Coronavirus variant have been registered in the country, bringing the total number of cases to 11 so far.
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.
