South African Medical Association Debunks Global Hysteria – Says Omicron Variant Symptoms ‘Unusual But Mild’ – Even WHO Says No Reason to Panic

The South African Medical Association debunked the hysteria over the Omicron COVID variant on Saturday.

Angelique Coetzee, the chairwoman of the South African Medical Association who first raised the alarm of the new COVID variant, gave an interesting update and now says the new variant known as the 'Omicron' causes "Unusual but mild symptoms."

"It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well. So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home," said Dr. Coetzee to Sputnik.

Dr. Coetzee also told the Telegraph that about two dozen of her patients tested for the 'Omicron' variant, they were mostly healthy men who turned up just "Feeling so tired".

The official noted that hospitals are not yet swamped and overwhelmed with this new COVID variant.

The World Health Organization representative in Russia, Melita Vujnovic, said on Saturday that there's no reason to panic regarding the new COVID variant.

The official added that "Of course, Africa does not have enough vaccine shots, even though the South African Republic produces vaccine." However, Vujnovic assumed that the Omicron variant might be more contagious than other strains.
