Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed “substantially reduced risk of severe clinical outcomes in patients who are infected with the Omicron variant compared with Delta,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC. The study by Kaiser, a California-based hospital and health-insurance company, examined nearly 70,000 Covid-19 cases in Southern California from Nov. 30 to Jan. 1.
