(ANSA) - LONDON, 07 JAN - "We know that Omicron is less serious and that, once the third booster dose (of the Covid vaccine) is received, the chances of being hospitalized are 90% lower than the Delta variant".
This was said today by the British Minister of Health, Sajid Javid, visiting King's College Hospital in London and referring to the "latest analyzes" conducted in the United Kingdom.
However, the minister added that hospitals still face "a few stormy weeks" due to the number of infections and absences among staff, with two other health facilities declared today in a state of alert in England.
