“Omikron” will become dominant strain in Europe in January

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lyien stated that by mid-January 2022, a new strain “Oomikron” will become the dominant version of the coronavirus in the European Union.

EU is well prepared for the fight against “Omicron”: 66.6% of the European population are completely vaccinated from coronavirus. We have forces and means to overcome the disease. Nevertheless, it is sad that this Christmas will be dumbfounded by a pandemic ” , – said the head of the European Commission.
