A consultant in infectious diseases at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Abdullah Asiri, reviewed some factors of the increase in cases of the emerging coronavirus in Singapore.
He explained that there is a mixture of omicron mutant branches, numbering more than 100 branches, containing a mixture of common mutations, one of which vanishes and is then replaced by another.
He pointed out that some of these mutations are more capable of contagion than others, although the prevailing feature is the scarcity of severe cases among those who received vaccinations and the booster dose, stressing that the increase in the number of cases was not accompanied by an increase in critical cases.
