Omicron Variant Has Mild Symptoms Says South African Doctor 

The chairperson of the South African Medical Association, Dr Angelique Coetzee, who first flagged the new Omicron variant in South Africa, said that the new variant is highly transmissible, but covid-19 patients infected with the new strain might experience mild symptoms whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. Comparing the new strain with the Delta variant, Dr Coetzee said: "What we have learnt is that it is quite transmissible. Is it more than Delta? We do not know. Whether it will infect more people than Delta at the end of the day, we will have to see. It can be diagnosed using a PCR test," In South Africa, it is being observed that children are getting more infected with the Omicron strain. However, Dr Coetzee said: "We have not seen a lot of flu cases during the winter (June to August). Now, with the rains that we have had in the last week and the week before, we are seeing a lot of children with flu, respiratory tract infections, normal tonsillitis, normal diarrhoea coming in, but they test positive for Covid. The impression is that a lot of Covid children have been admitted, but the majority is incidental finding because we are testing everybody for Covid," She also highlighted the importance of covid-19 vaccine booster shots, especially for older people and people with comorbidities.   https://youtu.be/BtELl7-zE_w

The central government has agreed to address the pending issues of farmers. On Thursday, the union government sent a formal letter to the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and decided to accept the pending demands and prompted them to end the yearlong agitation against the three controversial farm laws. The letter referred to the five demands of farmers, including a legal guarantee on the Minimum Support Price (MSP), withdrawal of the Electricity Amendment Bill, withdrawal of criminal cases against farmers, decriminalization of stubble burning and compensation to families of the farmers who died during the protest. The letter read: "It is being clarified that this committee will also include members of SKM… The status quo will be maintained on procurement of crops on MSP in the country. The central government will appeal other state governments too to start the process to withdraw cases against protestors of the movement." On Thursday, farmers suspended their yearlong movement. However, the SKM said they will meet again on 15th January to see if the government is doing anything to fulfill their demands.  https://twitter.com/news24tvchannel/status/1468876736636940289
