The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Friday urged countries, including Nigeria, not to panic but to prepare for the likely spread of COVID-19 Omicron

Speaking in Geneva, WHO spokesperson, Christian Lindmeier stressed that data suggesting that Omicron was highly transmissible was only preliminary.

“It is much more preferred to prepare your country, your health system for possible incoming cases because we can be pretty sure that this Omicron variant will spread around,” he said. The WHO official also cautioned against knee-jerk reactions to reports that Omicron had continued to spread.
