The study also found that a symptomatic Omicron infection was 25% less likely to result in hospital admission
I’m Matt Rosser keeping you up to date with news that disease caused by the Omicron variant is on average around two days shorter than Delta according to a study based on the Zoe COVID app, which collects data on self-reported symptoms. The study also found that a symptomatic Omicron infection was 25% less likely to result in hospital admission than in a case of Delta. While Omicron's lesser severity has been known, the study is unique in its detailed analysis. The authors say the reduced duration of Omicron effects - shortest for people who have had three vaccinations - could impact workplace health policies and public health guidance. We’ll keep you up to date on this and other developments, here on Care Radio.
