The Omicron variant of coronavirus should not be categorised as “mild”, even as it appears to be less severe than the Delta strain of the disease, World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday.

“Just like previous variants, Omicron is hospitalising people and it is killing people,” Tedros said at a media briefing. “In fact, the tsunami of cases is so huge and quick, that it is overwhelming health systems around the world.”
