The World Health Organization has warned the Omicron coronavirus variant is spreading faster than even the Delta variant and is infecting vaccinated people at a far higher rate than other forms of the virus. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called on governments to require more public health measures and said many holiday festivities should be canceled.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “An event canceled is better than a life canceled. It’s better to cancel now and celebrate later than to celebrate now and grieve later.”
