Omicron variant, Fauci: “It could already be in the US”

The South African variant Omicron may already be in the US, but has not yet been detected. This was underlined by the immunologist and advisor to US President Biden, Anthony Fauci, in an interview with ‘Nbc’. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, we haven’t detected it yet, but when you have a virus that shows this level of transmissibility and you have travel-related cases already detected in other places, it’s almost inevitable that it gets everywhere,” he said.
