We are dealing with a virus, which is here. It hasn’t changed that dramatically and it still bothers us. It sends people to both the hospital and the ICU“, he said characteristically.

He noted that the Omicron 5 variant “hits” the lower respiratory tract, however it can also cause more serious illness if someone has underlying diseases.

“The cases are twice as many as recorded, because the number of tests is also relatively low. Active cases are at 400,000-500,000. The point is that the hard indicators, deaths and even intubations have already given an increase, which we expect to continue for a little while longer.
