Angelique Coetzee, who first spotted Covid-19 variant Omicron, expressed that even though India will likely witness a huge surge of Omicron cases but, hopefully, the majority of the cases will be mild like in South Africa, she added in an interview. The South African doctor further said that the existing vaccines would greatly help to reduce the spread. She claimed that unvaccinated people are most likely to spread the virus 100 percent.
Moreover, she also showed dissent towards the opinion of some experts claiming that Covid is heading towards an end with the advent of Omicron. She predicted that this pandemic will become endemic.
