PETALING JAYA: The Omicron variant may be less severe compared to the Delta variant, but its infectivity rate is very high, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said Omicron’s higher transmissibility could result in an increase in hospital admissions, especially among high-risk individuals, which in turn would add pressure on hospital capacity.
