Washington, January 13 (RHC)-- The Pan American Health Organization says it expects Omicron to become the predominant coronavirus variant in the Americas in the coming weeks.

“While Delta is still causing new infections in the Americas, based on current trends, Omicron is on track to become the dominant strain in our region,” said Carissa Etienne, director of the agency known by its initials, PAHO.

The Omicron variant, which spreads more easily, has been detected in 42 of the 56 countries and territories of the Americas.
