Omicron cases show mild or no symptoms - Lelatisitswe

The symptoms seen thus far are not like the Delta variant, which drove Botswana’s third wave causing a record 573 deaths in July, he said.

According to the assistant minister, of the 15 cases still in Botswana, three showed mild symptoms while the rest did not. Eleven of the cases were vaccinated, while those unvaccinated did not show symptoms. All identified cases still in Botswana are in their final days of isolation and will be released soon, Lelatisitswe said.
