The fifth wave of the Covid pandemic fuelled by the Omicron variant is estimated to peak by the second or third week of January, Maria Koliou Assistant Professor of Paediatrics and Virology and member of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Covid, told CNA on Friday.
Koliou also noted that there’s a high possibility for the Cyprus health system to be put under more strain due to the Omicron variant’s higher transmission rate.
“We estimate that the (fifth) wave will peak by the second or third week of January followed by a decline in the very high daily cases,” Koliou said.
