Omicron variant isolated in Hong Kong

Researches at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have isolated the Omicron variant. The HKU team succeeded in isolating the variant just four days after the first two Omicron cases were confirmed in Hong Kong on Nov 25, and
five days after the variant was first reported to the WHO from South Africa on Nov 24.

“We recognize the serious threats of the variant and jumped into action immediately,” said Chair of Infectious Diseases Professor Kwok-yung Yuen, who led the research effort. “Isolating the variant is the first step in the urgent study of the variant.”
