Despite this, Omicron is still circulating, and case rates are still high with thousands of individuals still vulnerable to serious illness if they catch the disease that has dominated the world since the pandemic began two years ago.
The main symptoms of Omicron are very similar to those of the cold and flu viruses that also circulate at this time of year.
Symptoms of Omicron include a runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat.
In contrast to Delta the data says that only half of people are being affected by the original symptoms of COVID-19, loss of taste, loss of smell, fever, and cough.
