The country's public health agency has said that the Omicron has become the main coronavirus strain in France where the number of infections has surged in the last few days.
“62.4 per cent of tests showed a profile compatible with the Omicron variant” at the start of this week, compared to 15 per cent the previous week, the agency said in its latest weekly survey published late Thursday.
The Omicron variant’s advance was expected because it is highly contagious and has become dominant in other European countries including Britain and Portugal.
