Planning Minister and NCOC Head Asad Umar said that Omicron—new variant of COVID-19—cases have been increasing across the country particularly in Lahore and Karachi, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

NCOC Head along with SAPM on Health Dr. Faisal Sultan was addressing a press conference in Islamabad.

"People living in these cities must immediately get themselves vaccinated," Umar said.

He said that though the variant is mild, a lot of people have been affected. All evidence gathered all over the world reveals that the Omicron variant will spread rapidly, urging citizens to vaccinate themselves, wear mask and avoid crowded places.
