Scientists Warning: Just one breath of a patient who is in the grip of the Omicron form of corona can infect you. British scientists have warned people around the world about this, terming Omicron as very contagious.
According to scientists, earlier the infection was spreading through small droplets coming out of the body while coughing or sneezing, but now even a slight breath of breath can easily infect humans. In such a situation, people have to be more alert than before.
Professor Peter Openshaw of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group said that we were very fortunate that the virus was not highly contagious in the beginning. We have seen this virus mutate in several stages.
emphasis on vaccination
He said this would be especially dangerous in countries with low vaccination rates. Vaccination status in some countries is good. But the situation can be critical where the vaccination rate is only five percent, and they are exposed to Omicron.
At the same time, Professor Christina Pagel says that even though Omicron patients are less admitted in the ICU, the danger is not averted yet. Its cases are increasing very fast.
Delta will overtake
Professor Peter said that Omicron alone is responsible for around 90 percent of cases in the UK. Soon it will overtake Delta. However, many studies claim Omicron to cause mild symptoms. Let us tell you that more than 1,600 cases of this type have been reported in India.
