Omicron subvariant BA.2: Health officials call it 'variant of concern'
Fox News
WHO said in a recent statement “initial data suggest that BA.2 appears inherently more transmissible than BA.1, which currently remains the most common Omicron sublineage reported.”
Emergency department physician Dr. Fred Davis, DO, MPH, told Fox News, that so far "It is not currently being seen that the BA.2 variant causes more severe illness or carries an increased risk of being hospitalized." Davis, who is the Associate Chair of Emergency Medicine at Northwell Health on Long Island, N.Y., also told Fox News, "Early evaluations similarly show that vaccinations and boosters have been shown to be up to 77% of preventing severe disease requiring hospitalization."
