The country’s claims are based on a study that found the risk of hospitalization for omicron is half that seen with delta.
Despite the fact that the world is experiencing a global wave of omicron infections, a variant of COVID-19, Denmark assures that in its territory the pandemic will come to an end in two months.
Denmark’s predictions are taken seriously as it boasts a global coronavirus surveillance system specifically designed to when the nature of the virus changes rapidly, according to an article by The Washington Post.
Tyra Grove Krause, who heads the Department of Epidemiology of the State Serum Institute, dedicated to testing and surveillance, was the one who announced the end of the pandemic in two months on a local television Monday night His optimism is based on the findings of a study conducted by his organization.
“The omicron variant is causing the end of the pandemic … We will regain our normal life in two months, “said Krause.
The expert bases these statements on a study by her organization that found that the risk of hospitalization due to the variant is half that observed with the delta, she refers Infobae.
According to the new study, Krause argues that “omicron is here to stay and will provide a massive spread of the infection in the next month. “
“When it ends, we will be in a better place than before,” said the expert with optimism, who assures that the variant will reach its maximum point at the end of January, and in February there will be a decrease in infections and pressure on the system of medical attention, although she has been emphatic that efforts should be added this month.
The country has seen an increase in cases in recent weeks. On Sunday alone it recorded its highest average infections in seven days, averaging 20,886 in the previous week, even with one of the highest incidence rates per million people in Europe.
Denmark’s epidemiological models are a global example. The country performs more tests than almost any other in the world, for example at a rate per capita seven times that of the United States.
Its raking and traceability capabilities of the virus for each test allows to identify the positives on a daily basis and to know at the same time which variant it is. The genetic sequencing capacity that the country has It allows researchers not only to see the mutations, but also to understand who infected whom.
For all its advances, the projections of scientists from Denmark are considered very relevant. Some believe Denmark’s surge is a week or two ahead of other Western countries. (I)
