We have Delta and now Omicron
The world is still coping with the Delta variant of Covid-19 first detected in India. Now Omicron variant, first reported in South Africa, appeared on the scene. Preliminary information is that Omicron is more transmissible than Delta. Here we go again with the latest mutation of Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2).
Let’s hope that this Omicron variant does not spread globally like the Delta variant. Hopefully, we have learned from the experience of handling Delta variant. I am not holding my breath with each mutation of coronavirus. We may have to live with Covid-19 a lot longer. Face masks will be here to stay.
