SINGAPORE: Early clinical observations globally suggest that the Omicron COVID-19 variant may be more transmissible and have a higher risk of reinfection compared to the Delta and Beta variants of the virus, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Sunday (Dec 5).

......

Studies on whether existing COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the new variant are ongoing, but "there is an emerging view amongst scientists around the world that existing COVID-19 vaccines will still work on the Omicron variant, especially in protecting people against severe illness", MOH said.

......

MOH said Omicron cases have "mostly displayed mild symptoms, and no Omicron-related deaths have been reported so far".

Common symptoms reported include sore throat, tiredness and cough
