Omicron variant likely to be circulating in France - Health Minister
The Omicron variant of the coronavirus is probably already circulating in France, its health minister said on Sunday, adding that the government was tightening restrictions to contain its spread.
 
Omicron is potentially more contagious than previous variants, although experts do not know yet if it will cause more or less severe COVID-19 compared to other strains.
 
"There is no identification yet, but it's a matter of hours," Olivier Veran told reporters at a vaccination center in Paris.
