EU reports 63 omicron cases

BRUSSELS, Dec 8 (KUNA) -- As of Wednesday, 63 coronavirus variant Omicron cases have been confirmed in the European Union and European Economic Area, contributing to an overall total of 337 confirmed cases so far, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Cases have been reported by 21 European countries, the ECDC, said in a statement Wednesday.
Two new European countries EU-member Estonia and non-EU member Liechtenstein has reported the Omicron variant and a number of probable cases are currently under investigation in several countries.
No deaths have been reported among these cases so far.
These figures should be assessed with caution, as the number of confirmed cases is too low to understand if the disease clinical spectrum of Omicron differs from that of previously detected variants, it added. (end) snk.gta
