Ten Cases of Omicron Variant Confirmed
Ten cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 were confirmed in Iceland as of Saturday afternoon. RÚV reports that contract tracing in these cases is going well.
The country’s first case of the omicron variant was diagnosed on earlier this week in the town of Akranes in West Iceland. The individual who tested positive with the variant did not recently arrive from abroad and had been fully vaccinated. He was admitted to the hospital with mild symptoms.
Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason said that all ten of the current omnicron cases are probably connected with Akranes. It is not unlikely, however, that the variant has spread further throughout Iceland.
