The representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Russia, Melita Voinovich, stated that the "Omicron" mutant may contribute to overcoming the Coronavirus pandemic in the world over the near future.
In response to a question in this regard, Voinovich said in an interview with the "Rossiya 24” satellite channel, that "this matter is possible."
She continued, "We hope that it will be like this. So far, it is too early to talk about that, because the number of people infected with the "Omicron" is not enough. We have to wait a week or a week and a half to be able to say with accuracy."
Voinovich indicated that if the Corona pandemic is defeated, the virus will turn into incoming diseases, such as influenza, but the number of infections will be much lower, and it will be possible to fight this disease.
The WHO official expressed her concern about the rapid spread of the "Omicron" mutant, noting that "a big leap within a short period may paralyze the health care system if the number of infected is very large."
She expressed the hope that the cases of the "Omicron" would not be as dangerous as the infection with the "Delta" mutation, but that does not mean that there are no serious cases at all.
Voinovich added that the same treatment and the same drugs that are used to treat infections with other mutant mutations are effective against the "Omicron" mutant as well.
