Durbin Talks New COVID Variant

Share

Illinois’ Senior Senator says it’s still too soon to judge the new COVID-19 variant Omicron.

Senator Dick Durbin said the Omicron variant is highly transmissible compared to the Delta variant and is a “new reality.”

On Monday, pharmaceutical drugmaker Moderna said the current COVID-19 vaccines are less effective on the new variant compared to the Delta variant.

Data suggest the Omicron variant is highly transmissible compared to the Delta variant.
