There is a chance of simultaneous infection with Coronavirus "Delta" and "Omicron" strains. According to Report.ge, Paul Burton, the Chief Medical Specialist of the American pharmaceutical company Moderna revealed the information.
"In the coming months, these two strains will coexist. In the light of the very difficult situation surrounding the Delta strain, people will be infected with Omicron. There is a possibility that the dual infection may occur in some cases, and people will be infected with both strains. It will allow these strains to develop further and mutate," Burton said while giving a speech at the British Parliament.
The Sun notes that the number of patients infected with Delta strain in British hospitals is equal to Omicron.
According to the expert, the situation is worrying, and people with weakened immunity are at risk.
According to the World Health Organization, a new strain of the coronavirus "Omicron" has already been reported in 77 countries.
