(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 24 - "Last week we did not see a large increase in cases of Covid 19 in the EU and the European Economic Area, as a result of the immunization of the population following vaccination and natural immunisations. However, this could change quickly entering the colder winter months.This virus is maintaining a fast space in its evolution and a new surveillance of Omicron such as BQ1.1 (so called Cerberus, ed) and its derivatives are growing and are replacing Omicron Ba5".
This was stated by Marco Cavaleri, head of the vaccination strategy of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
