Omicron could be three times more infectious than previous strains, says UK expert

Image: SIPA USA/PA Images Image: SIPA USA/PA Images A MEMBER OF the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies has said Omicron is “much more infectious” than Delta and all previous strains.

“What we can also see is that the vaccine, two doses of the vaccine, has relatively little impact on stopping that transmission. “So you know, there is going to be a big problem. The question is how much we’re prepared to do to stop that as a society.” Zahawi said there are people in hospital with Omicron, while Dr Hopkins also confirmed that they are getting reports of individuals going into hospital over the last few days with the variant.Hopkins told BBC’s The Andrew Marr Show: “We’re also seeing hospitals diagnose more and more people coming through their emergency departments, and we expect to see increases in that number. I have not had a report of death yet.
