To date, the SSI had recorded more than 26,000 omicron cases, including 1,367 confirmed by whole genome sequencing and nearly 25,000 detected by variant PCR testing. According to the latest SSI report on Omicron spread, registered Omicron cases already represented about 45.3 percent of all new CoV infections by Dec. 15.
