Omicron 3 times more likely to cause reinfection than previous COVID variants: researchers
Fox News
South African scientists say the risk of reinfection from the omicron COVID-19 variant is at least three times higher than for any previous variant.
From this retrospective analysis, the group said increases in primary infection were observed following the introduction of both the beta and delta variants, but no corresponding increase was observed in the reinfection hazard.
Additionally, the estimated hazard ratio for reinfection versus primary infection was lower during COVID-19 waves driven by the beta and delta variants than for the first wave.
