Muscat: As the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 15 new cases of the Omicron variant in the Sultanate of Oman, currently subject to epidemiological investigation, health experts have warned that a rapid rise in infections is expected in the coming days.
“Though the risk of getting the severe illness is low, it is important to take the third dose,” they said.
The Supreme Committee, which has been following up on the developments of this pandemic, urged everyone to fully adhere to preventive measures, such as wearing a mask in all closed places, maintaining social distancing, avoiding crowded places and gatherings of all kinds, and maintaining clean hands.
It also calls upon all those aged eighteen and over to take the booster dose of the Covid vaccine, which is available in primary care institutions.
