The Omicron variant can spread infection by aerosolization.
Omicron is a mutant strain of the new coronavirus that was first detected in South Africa, and Omicron is now a globally trending strain that is relatively more transmissible than the new coronavirus and other mutant strains. Whereas the route of infection for neocoronaviruses includes aerosol transmission, the route of infection for omicronjon strains also includes aerosols.
Available studies suggest that vaccination with existing vaccines may also reduce the rate of severe illness and mortality of neocoronavirus pneumonia caused by omicron infection.
If there is any suspicion of Omicron virus infection, please go to a designated medical institution for examination and cooperate with the relevant personnel to do the isolation and prevention work to avoid adverse consequences.
