Omicron (B.1.1.529) has been declared a variant of concern by the United Nations agency determined that it had multiple mutations supported knowledge. everyone seems to be speculative why the alphabetic character is being affected even when obtaining unsusceptible. The answer to the present is obvious: the Covid-19 vaccines utilized in most of the world provide virtually negligible to no defense against infection by the highly contagious alphabetic character variant, all because it carries an associate abundance of distinctive mutations; on the spike supermolecule that is that the infectious agent supermolecule that there are additional than 30. These mutations are the unique feature of alphabetic character, which gives a facet step to avoid previous vaccines. In Nov, the alphabetic character was 1st known in African nations and South Africa associated caused a fearful spike in COVID-19 cases in the African country. Many studies show that the alphabetic character is much more contagious than the previous variants, which is a concern section. Still, luckily, it's less severe than a delta. Still, it sure is true that susceptible folks are at more considerable risk once compared to people who are unsusceptible, and therefore the same is the case with the older age group; this could not be considered gentle. Alphabetic characters created the planet to understand that the pandemic was far away from being over which, they had to follow the guidelines given. Like the alphabetic character, this variant can stick with it emerging since it's a natural part of the virus's progression. Shortly, there are high possibilities of a brand new variant developing, and the indisputable fact that alphabetic character would be the last variant should not be shocking as long as a COVID-19 epidemic happens somewhere on the world.

1.INTRODUCTION

The COVID-19 pandemic (coronavirus) has become an enormous threat to the whole world, making people confined in their homes and restricting theirmobility. It has a pervasive influence on people's daily lives and health, including significant mortality among older folks and those with pre-existing health issues. It even has a remarkable impact on the global economy. In this review paper, we will bediscussing the newly discovered variant which belongs to the Pango lineage B.1.1.529 SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) from South Africa in Botswana named Omicron by the World Health Organization (WHO) on November 24, 2021(He et al., 2021) [1]. This variant caused a tremendous hike in coronavirus cases that WHO categorized the Omicron variants as a Variant of Concern (VOC).

The variant has a high risk of re-infection compared to other variants and has very high transmissibility. Concerning factor is its large number of mutations (i.e., more than 50 and of these, 32 mutations has been seen in spike protein), increase in virulence, the sudden rise in the number of cases of this variant, and disease severity put forward the emerging risk of global public health. PCR test is used for this variant as one of three target genes is not detected (S gene target failure), leading to faster detection rates. The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 displays substantial evidence for elusion of immunityfrom prior infection. The percentage of conditions similar to the Beta variant increased to ∼50% of the daily requirements within roughly 100 days since its outbreak. That Delta variant raised to ∼80% during the same amount of time. In comparison, the percentage of Omicron infection reached ∼90% in almost 25 days making it more infectious than other variants [2]. The Omicron variant is 91% less likely to cause death in infected patients and makes shorter hospital stays for infected patients. [3]

The variant has a two-thirds reduction in the COVID-19 hospitalization rates and a decrease in risk of severe disease in SGTF(S gene target failure)-infected individuals to that of Delta-infected individuals, eventually resulting in high population immunity. So to increase population immunity, prevent severe disease, and reduce the developing health crisis, vaccines play a significant role. Booster doses are allotted in some countries. To date, ten vaccines have been authorized by WHO.

Individuals are prompted to take adequate measures such as wearing well-fitting masks, keeping physical distance, washing hands, improving the ventilation of indoor spaces, avoiding crowded areas, and getting vaccinated to minimize the risk of COVID-19.

2. Symptoms

According to the WHO, there are no different symptoms of Omicron other than usual covid-19 symptoms. The WHO also aforesaid that the mortality rate of the omicron variant can be specifically high. The omicron variant is more of upper respiratory tract symptoms and more minor of fever; all the
