Disturbing news has come to light regarding the new variant of coronavirus 'Omicron'. Dr. Faheem Yunus, America's top infectious disease expert, found that if you are already infected with the Kovid-19 virus, then even in such a situation you are not protected from the 'Omicron' variant. It simply means that you can get infected again.
However, people who have been infected with Kovid-19 and who have also taken vaccines against the virus are very less likely to be infected with the new variant. The expert said, “There could be huge harmful effects for those international locations where the delta variant caused mass casualties.”
