(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 7 - There have so far been 11 Omicron
cases in Italy but others are suspected, Higher Health Institute
(ISS) chief Silvio Brusaferro said Tuesday.
The regions where the cases of the more infectious new variant
have been found are Calabria, Campania, Sardinia, and Veneto,
plus the autonomous province of Bolzano, he said.
They regard people who have been to South Africa or their close
contacts, Brusaferro said.
Two cases were sequences in Veneto Tuesday, and one in Calabria.
All three are well. (ANSA).
