And the Ministry of Health indicated that sub-mutants, such as the “Omicron” mutant, are prevalent so far in the Kingdom and around the world, while it is considered the fastest transmission among humans from previous mutants, pointing out that its symptoms are at a lower level, but it is capable of causing severe crises, especially for those who did not They complete the immunizations, especially of the elderly, or those who have chronic diseases that may affect immunity, warning at the same time that it is transmitted through “respiratory droplets” from the infected person to the direct contacts around him.
