Why Omicron is spreading so quickly?

Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during this time. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that due to a number of reasons the Omicron is spreading so quickly.

In the last One week, there has been a record of corona identification in the world. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s chief technical officer, said that people need to think about reducing the risk of exposure to the virus and controlling its spread. Omicron is spreading rapidly among people for various reasons.

Firstly, the new type of corona, Omicron, has changed its genetic many times over. For this reason, this type can easily enter the human body cells.

“The second reason is what we call the evasion of the immune system,” said Maria Van Kerkhove.

“This means that people who have been infected with the coronavirus before and who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus can also become infected again.”

Maria Van Kerkhove added that Omicron is spreading differently on the upper respiratory tract than other types of the corona.

Apart from these reasons, the spread of the virus is increasing due to the fact that people spend more time in confined spaces due to winter and do not adhere to physical distances.

Last week, the WHO said that a record 95 lakh corona was identified in the world. This is an increase of 71 percent compared to the previous week.
