The Omicron variant has moved the Covid pandemic into a new phase and is likely to bring it to an end in Europe, the World Health Organization's regional director for Europe said on Sunday.

"It is plausible that the region is moving towards the final phase of the pandemic," Hans Kluge told AFP, adding that Omicron could infect 60% of Europeans by March.

The Omicron variant has moved the COVID-19 pandemic into a new phase and could bring it to an end in Europe, the WHO Europe director has said.

"It's plausible that the region is moving towards a kind of pandemic endgame," Hans Kluge told AFP in an interview on Jan. 23, adding that Omicron could infect 60 percent of Europeans by March.

The AP agency reminds that, when the pandemic started, Spain introduced a three-month lockdown, during which even children were not allowed to go to the park. The strictest measures have been created and implemented so that the Spanish health care system would not collapse.

Early indications of the severity of the Omicron COVID-19 variant are "a bit encouraging," top U.S. pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci said on Dec. 5, while cautioning more information was still needed.

The United States has found its first infected with the new variant of Covid-19 - Omicron, CNN reports, citing the US Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

U.S. Chief Epidemiologist and Infectious Diseases Specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci reports to President Joe Biden that final information on the new version of the coronavirus Omicron will be available in two weeks, Reuters reported.

"I never say things that are not confirmed," Cako said, before adding that Fauci was in fact the "illegitimate son" of Mother Theresa, the Roman Catholic nun and missionary of Albanian heritage.

With the United States recording its highest daily COVID case load in six months, a top public health official warned on Aug. 8 that the country is "failing" in its battle to keep the coronavirus in check.

Greece is welcoming July with the best epidemiological statistics of the last months.

There is a substantial decline in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, of intubated patients, of hospital admissions, and of deaths.

This decline did not occur by chance. It is the product of our collective, strenuous, and coordinated effort and care.

Namely, the document states that the coronavirus "leaked" from the Institute of Virology in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
China has vehemently denied the allegations, and Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration, recently added additional fuel to the fire.
