New Year in Asian countries falls on February 1. After its celebration, most Asian countries have seen a large number of new Covid infections. The Ministry of Health asked to take the mask regime seriously and not to gather many people in closed spaces, but the population did not listen to them. Now the consequences of the Lunar New Year are expressed in an increase in new cases.
Omicron is transmitted almost instantly, so minimal contact with a person infected with this type of coronavirus almost 100% leads to infection of the second. The situation is approaching catastrophic, and the numbers are only growing every day.
Hong Kong is already seeing a record number of new cases. The only saving grace so far is that most people have mild cases of Covid and there are few hospitalizations. The authorities said that all contacts will remain in self-isolation from today, as the situation has begun to get out of control.
A similar situation is happening in Singapore, where the number of patients has tripled in a day. The new strain of coronavirus infection is now dominant in all Asian countries. Thailand has said that it is currently containing the spread of omicron, but warns tourists to be careful.
