The probability of falling into the hospital in patients with Omicron strain by 50-70 percent is lower than in patients with delta. This is reported to The Guardian newspaper with reference to the UK Safety Agency Research (UKHSA).
“Our recent study shows encouraging initial indicators that people who are infected with” Omicron “are much less risky to get into the hospital than those who have become infected with other options”
In addition, according to the study data, an omikron infected by 31-45 percent less often fall into intensive care.
However, this strain is transmitted faster than previous variants of coronavirus, therefore the risk that the rates of hospitalization and the load on the health system will remain high, persists.
also scientists concluded that in the case of Omicron-strain among the persistent COVID-19, cases of re-infection with coronavirus infection are more common. According to UKHSA, about 10 percent of omicron-strain infected in the UK has previously overwhelmed coronavirus.
It is noted that, according to doctors, the vaccine applicable in the country is less effective when protecting against a new strain, but the booster dose is more likely to prevent infection. We will weaken the protection against the virus, according to the researchers, will be ten days after vaccination.
Previously, the University of Edinburgh submitted preliminary results of the study, which show that the Omicron version of Coronavirus SARS-COV-2 is less dangerous than previous strains. They concluded that the more “soft” ohomikron option replaces the strain of the delta, since it is easier to transmit from a person to man.
