The world is deeply concerned about the new variant of Corona 'Omicron'. The European Union hastily banned flights to Africa, causing panic about this variant. The WHO has described Omicron as spreading 7 times faster than the delta variant of the corona. In this context, there has been a possibility of the virus infecting people very fast. The stock market has also fallen sharply due to the fear of its impact on the economy.
There is also a flip side amid the increased concern over the Omicron variant of the corona worldwide and that Africa, from where the new strain originated, has seen a decline in the number of new patients and deaths for the last two months. This is important because the African Medical Association says the Omicron variant has been present in Africa for two months. Since then it has changed its form 45 times. Despite this, the number of deaths is decreasing.
Europe is getting 86 times more new patients than Africa, even more deaths

Compared to Europe, this figure is 26 times less. It is a matter of confidence that both daily cases and deaths in Africa have been decreasing continuously for two months. On the other hand, in 45 countries of Europe with 10% of the world's population, 3.63 lakh patients are being found daily. More than 3,880 deaths are taking place every day.
