The World Health Organisation says Omicron has been detected in 38 countries but there are no reported deaths so far from the new COVID-19 variant.
WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier says it is commendable that makers of COVID-19 vaccines are planning for the likelihood of needing to adjust their products to protect against the Omicron variant.
WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan urged people not to panic over the emergence of the Omicron coronavirus variant and said it was too early to say if COVID-19 vaccines would have to be modified to fight it.
Swaminathan says that the right response was to be prepared and cautious and not to panic in face of the new variant.
