The World Health Organisation (WHO) has adviced countries to brace themselves for the possible spread of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron.

WHO spokesperson, Christian Lindmeier who gave the advice in Geneva on Friday, said it would take two weeks before more is known about how transmissible and how dangerous the variant is.

Lindmeier said: “It is much more preferred to prepare your country, your health system for possible incoming cases because we can be pretty sure that this Omicron variant will spread around,

“This is how this virus behaves and we will most likely not be able to keep it out of individual countries.”

He cautioned: “Let’s not get deterred right now, let us first get as much information as possible to make the correct risk assessment based on the information that we will have and then let’s move on,” 

“Let’s not get completely worried or confused by individual information which are all individually important, but which need to be brought together in order to assess together.”
