There has been a record of corona identification across the world in the last week. On Friday, Maria Van Karkov, the WHO’s senior technical officer, stated that people should think about decreasing the risk of infection and managing the virus’s spread. Omicron is rapidly spreading among people for a variety of causes.

First, the new type of corona, Omicron, has undergone numerous genetic changes. As a result, this type can easily access the cells of the human body.

“The second factor is what we term immune system evasion,” Maria van Karkov explained. This means that persons who have previously been infected with the coronavirus and have been vaccinated against it can become sick again.

Omicron emits differently on the upper respiratory tract than other forms of delta and corona, according to Maria van Karkov. Apart from these factors, the virus is spreading due to the fact that people in the northern hemisphere spend more time in tight quarters during the winter and do not adhere to physical distances.

The WHO announced last week that a world-record 9.5 million corona had been discovered. This represents a 61 percent gain over the previous week.
