(ORDO NEWS) — Candidate of Medical Sciences, clinical pharmacologist Andrei Kondrakhin explained the important and, perhaps, the main difference between Omicron and other strains of coronavirus.

At the same time, the specialist emphasized that Omicron could be quite dangerous and “cause a lot of trouble” if a surge in morbidity begins.
“Basically, the disease proceeds like a common ARVI. A person is worried about a runny nose, a cough, a slight increase in temperature is possible for several days, “Kondrakhin noted.
