Omicron Variant Isn’t Deadly, South African Medical Chair Claims
A South African doctor said Sunday that symptoms of the Omicron variant appear to be mild and can be treated at home.
Dr. Angelique Coetzee, a private practitioner and chair of the South African Medical Association, was one of the first to notice the new variant. She treated patients at her clinic who had symptoms different from the Delta variant, she said. Omicron was announced by the South African National Institute of Communicable Diseases on Nov. 25, based on samples taken earlier in the month.
Worldwide panic over the new Omicron variant has seen many nations close their borders and restrict flights from other nations. The UK is requiring quarantine, and the US is expected to impose flight restrictions as of Monday.
Coetzee said the symptoms were “mild” in the patients she observed. They mostly consisted of fatigue, body aches and headaches.
“Symptoms at that stage was very much related to normal viral infection.
