Published
US infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday it was difficult to know whether the Covid-19 Omicron variant will lead to severe disease, and said preliminary information from South Africa indicated it did not lead to unusual symptoms.

Speaking at a White House Covid-19 Response Team briefing on Tuesday, Fauci and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the best preparation for the Omicron variant is to be vaccinated, and for those who are eligible to get a booster shot.

Walensky said the new variant has not yet been detected in the US.
