The admission to the ICU of a patient with “Omicron 2” has caused concern. And this is because he is the first person in Crete with Omicron 2 who had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.
As Nikos Tzanakis, Professor of Pulmonology at the Medical School of the University of Crete, explained to ERT Heraklion, this is an unvaccinated adult who, unfortunately, has been intubated.
That is why, as he stressed, attention is needed with “Omicron 2”. Besides, half of the hospitalizations of patients with coronavirus in Crete are now due to “Omicron 2”, following the course of its spread in the community of this mutation, according to what the assistant professor of Clinical Virology of the University School of Medicine Zafeiropoulos.
