Omicron may be ‘mild’ but more Aussies are dying in the current outbreak
Now, there’s a new version of Omicron circulating, but health authorities say it’s not a concern so far
More Australians have died from COVID-19 since the Omicron variant emerged despite it being dubbed a milder variant than Delta, data suggest.
Since the first Omicron-linked death just after Christmas, at least 1340 people have died, compared with 1230 during six months of the Delta outbreak, according to an ABC News analysis.
