Scientific modelling suggests those viruses are about 30 per cent more transmissible in colder weather, and he suspects SARS-CoV-2 will be similar.As coronavirus continues to spread across the world, Professor Baxter said it was only a matter of time before another coronavirus variant emerged in Australia.
“People often say Omicron is mild, but we all saw what happened,” Baxter said. “Hopefully the next one won’t be as significant as Omicron or Delta.Baxter believes another surge of coronavirus cases is inevitable.
