The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning about a new mutation in the new crown variant strain of Omicron, the "XE" variant, which may be more contagious than any previously seen strain of the new crown.
In addition, WHO released an updated planning document on March 30 for its response to the new crown outbreak, listing a number of key strategic plans and adjustments. If these plans are properly implemented in 2032, the WHO said, the world may be on track to end the emergency phase of the outbreak.
