Al-Marsad newspaper: The World Health Organization revealed that the second version of the omicron mutant known as “BA.2”, which is spread especially in Denmark, does not cause more serious symptoms than the original “BA.1” version. .1), known as “Omicron”, which is currently spreading among countries.
The organization’s official in charge of combating Corona, Maria Van-Kerkhove, said that the research did not talk regarding any difference in terms of risk between PA1 and PA2 and therefore the level is the same in terms of hospitalization risks, according to “Al Arabiya Net”.
She pointed out that this conclusion is really important, because in several countries there was a large outbreak of the PA1 version as well as the PA2 version, pointing out that this result was reached by an advisory committee of experts on the development of the virus that causes Corona disease two days ago.
And it turned out that BA.2, a new term derived from the omicron mutant but faster than it, is considered dangerous because it does not appear in the analysis of the corona detection “BCR”, which made some call it “the hidden omicron”.
