Abstract
Due to the continuous emergence of multiple variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome cronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused severe morbidity and mortality worldwide in the last two years amidst waves of pandemic within the ongoing pandemic resulting into high global health concerns and adverse socioeconomics impacts. 1-4 Omicron, the recent highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.529), classified as variant of concern (VoC) by WHO on 26 November 2021, is now becoming a dominant strain in several countries and a very massive surge in COVID-19 cases is being faced presently with nearly 300 million cumulative cases and 5.5 million deaths reported as of January 5, 2022 This article is protected by copyright.
