(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 18 - "This pandemic is not over yet and, with the incredible growth of Omicron globally, new variants are likely to emerge".
This was stated by WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in the Covid briefing from Geneva.
"Omicron may be less severe on average, but the narrative that it is a mild disease is misleading, harms the general 'pandemic' response and costs more lives,” he added.
