Taiwanese Premier Su Tseng-chang on Sunday said there is no reason to fear the highly transmissible Omicron variant due to its milder severity, following a spike in domestic coronavirus infections fueled by the new variant.
Speaking to reporters at Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), Su urged residents not to be afraid of the new variant, but rather “stay vigilant and prudent” by getting vaccinated, Taipei Times reported.
