More than half of the population in the World Health Organisation's European region could be infected by Omicron within the next two months, the UN agency warned on Tuesday.
"As of 10 January, 26 countries report that over one per cent of their population is catching COVID-19 each week," said Dr Kluge, WHO Europe's regional director. Evidence has shown that Omicron is much more transmittable than the original strain of the virus or the Delta variant. It is also more resistant to treatment with fully vaccinated people more likely to get infected or reinfected. Kluge explained that it is because its mutations"enable it to adhere to human cells more easily".Vaccines remain essential for protection
Kluge stressed that although mortality rates have remained stable, they"continue to be highest in countries with high COVID-19 incidence, combined with lower vaccination uptake". The low vaccination rates can be attributed to vaccine inequity and difficulties obtaining doses. The five low-and-low-middle income countries in the region — Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the Republic of Moldova, and Kyrgyzstan — have all immunised less than a third of their population.
