Chief US infectious disease specialist Fauci predicted an increase in hospitalizations due to the "omicron"

“A large number of cases in the United States will lead to a large number of hospitalizations,” he told the television station.

The doctor also noted that at the moment this figure is growing at a much slower pace than the number of recorded cases of infection.

Earlier, RAS Corresponding Member Sergei Netyosov, in an interview with NSN, commented on the situation with the omicron coronavirus strain.
