As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, a new variant is making waves around the world. The omicron variant was first discovered in South Africa but has been detected in multiple countries across the globe. Experts believe that if it’s not already in the United States, it will be here sooner or later.
Right now, it’s unclear how harmful the omicron variant is compared to the delta variant. Researchers are still trying to determine how omicron stacks up in terms of its transmissibility and severity, but it’s safe to say that the new variant has many people on edge.
