The Omicron coronavirus variant could ease pressure on the German health system if it turns out to produce milder illness, even though infections are rising, the head of the country's association of senior hospital doctors (VLK) said.
VLK President Michael Weber, according to Reuters, said coronavirus would no longer be a threat to the health system if Omicron became as dominant in Germany as it is in South Africa, Britain or Denmark and if the infections are as predominantly mild as there.
“There is a realistic probability that the pandemic will also become endemic in this country,” Weber told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
