Minister of Health of Ukraine Viktor Lyashko reported the first case of infection with the new strain of COVID-19 "Omicron".
The infected person returned from the United Arab Emirates, where she had contact with patients with COVID-19. Currently, the patient is undergoing treatment, and her contacts are undergoing additional examination.
The patient self-isolated, so most likely she did not have time to pass it on.
It is known that the new strain of the "Omicron" coronavirus is quickly transmitted and can block the effect of vaccines or previous infections. The symptoms of "Omicron" are slightly different from other options, such as "Delta", but they are often described as milder.
