The COVID-19 pandemic has entered a new phase with the Omicron variant, which could infect 60 percent of people in Europe by March, and could bring it to an end, the World Health Organization’s Europe Director Hans Kluge said Sunday, according to CGTN.

Once the Omicron wave fades, he anticipates “a period of quiet before COVID-19 may come back towards the end of the year.”
