The Omicron variant has been less in it’s impacts than previous strains, and that is translating well into the province’s hospitalizations.
That’s according to the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Janice Fitzgerald.
She says it is hard to get much from the province’s data because our numbers are so small.
However, trends from across the country indicate that those do end up in hospital are there for a shorter period, and trend not to need drastic interventions.
Not to say people aren’t ending up in Intensive care Units (ICU), she says but fewer of those are requiring ventilation and things of that nature.
