According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Omicron variant, which was identified in South Africa and Hong Kong last month, has already been reported by over 70 countries and is presumably widespread in the rest of the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Still, it should not be disregarded as “mild."
After reaching one of Asia’s highest Covid-19 vaccination rates, with over 88 per cent of its 16 million people already vaccinated, the country reopened its borders to vaccinated tourists last month.
