Since the World Health Organization designation of the coronavirus strain B.1.1.529 — dubbed Omicron — as a variant of concern, research has intensified to determine if it is indeed more dangerous than previous variants.
This 75-minute webinar will explore the most recent learnings on the virology and epidemiology of Omicron and what this means for the world as SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The latest information available on the molecular nature of the Omicron variant,
- Current thinking on whether the Omicron strain poses a greater public health risk than previous coronavirus variants,
- Where Omicron has spread and how surveillance is being conducted,
- How we can reduce the likelihood of new variants from forming,
- The best ways to stay safe from Omicron and future variants.
