Anna Teresa Palamara, the director of
the infectious-diseases department of the Higher Health
Institute (ISS), said Friday that the risk of being reinfected
with COVID-19 has increased 18-fold with the Omicron variant.
"Reinfections are increasing," Palamara said as she presented
the weekly coronavirus monitoring report of the ISS and the
health ministry.
"They have gone above 6% of total infections.
"Fortunately, these cases of reinfection are not associated to
serious illness".
