As Dominica experiences another surge of coronavirus there has been concerns regarding the presence of the omicron variant on the island.
Studies show, the omicron variant is inherently more contagious and better at evading vaccines than any other Covid strain, but vaccinated people do not transmit it as easily as the unvaccinated.
Minister for health Dr. Irving McIntyre, says while the variant’s presence may be possible given its transmissibility this has not been confirmed by health experts.
