Australia has recorded the first death from an omicron strain of coronavirus. This was reported on the Twitter account of the New South Wales Department of Health.
It is noted that an elderly man who was vaccinated with two doses of the coronavirus vaccine died at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. The department added that the patient had concomitant health problems.
On December 2, Australian scientists and doctors noted that so far no severe cases of the disease among those infected with the omicron strain of coronavirus have been recorded in the country. This indicates that it should not be considered more dangerous than other types of infection. But the lack of evidence of the dangers of the omicron strain does not mean that it is completely harmless.
