A yet unreviewed scientific study, published by researchers at Kyoto Medical University in Japan, indicates that the Ômicron variant has more ability to survive on surfaces than previous strains of the coronavirus.
The latest variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 resists 21 hours on human skin and up to 193 hours (eight days) on plastic surfaces. The research, however, was unable to determine the ability to infect humans while still remaining alive on polystyrene (plastic) surfaces and human skin.

On the plastic surface, alpha survives 191.3 hours, while beta lasts 156.6 hours, Delta 114 hours and Gamma 59.3 hours. The strain originating in Wuhan only survived for 56 hours.
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus, declared that, despite the enormous contagion capacity of Ômicron, it is possible “to end the acute phase of the pandemic this year and end Covid-19 as a health emergency.” ”.
However, Ghebreyesus warned that Omicron should not be the last variant to ravage the world.
