UK data suggest hospitalization 50-70% less likely with Omicron than Delta
(Worthy News) – Preliminary data suggest that people with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus are between 50 and 70 percent less likely to need hospitalization than those with the Delta strain, Britain’s public health agency said Thursday.
The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) findings add to emerging evidence that Omicron produces milder illness than other variants — but also spreads faster and better evades vaccines.
The agency said that based on cases in the UK, an individual with Omicron is estimated to be between 31-45% less likely to attend a hospital emergency department compared to one with Delta, “and 50 to 70% less likely to be admitted to hospital.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
