“Increase in the number of infections is due to Omicron strain,” said Specialist-expert of the Ministry of Health, infectious disease specialist Tayyar Eyvazov, APA reports.

According to him, the higher the infectivity of this strain, but shorter the incubation period leads to that the majority of people who were in close contact are infected: “Now when there is an infection in a family, 90 percent of members of the family are infected with the coronavirus. As the disease is mild, the number of hospital admissions remained the same. The number of diseases in the outpatient ring increased. Despite the disease is mild, it means some increase in health burden.”
