“We call on all countries to protect their population using all the tools at their disposal. Not just vaccines. It is premature for countries to give in, or to scream victory. This virus is dangerous, and it continues to evolve before our eyes, ”said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Managing Director of WHO.
Indeed, if the omicron variant remains highly transmitted, it causes globally lighter symptoms than previous variants, the World Health Organization (WHO) calls for states to remain vigilant.
However, for some countries we start to remove all restrictions. Denmark became one of the first European countries on Tuesday to remove almost all of its restrictions. The COVVI-19 is no longer considered a “threatening disease for society”. Even if the contamination rates remain high due to omicron, the health system is not under pressure.
Norway has followed the example of Denmark, and also raised most of the health restrictions that are still in force. Establishments are again authorized to serve alcohol after 23 hours and home work is no longer compulsory.
