Much higher percentage of Delta Covid cases require hospitalization than Omicron: OMT virologist

NL Times  

With the rise of the Omicron variant in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam University Medical Center has started testing all new Covid-19 patients who show up at the emergency room to determine what coronavirus variant caused their infection. It is striking that a significantly higher proportion of Delta patients are actually admitted into regular care wards," said Amsterdam UMC virologist Menno de Jong. Noted Belgian virologist Marc Van Ranst also noticed that the vast majority of seriously ill Covid-19 patients at the university hospital in Leuven still have the Delta variant. "In patients with no or minor complaints, we see approximately the reflection as it is in society: About 85 percent have Omicron and 15 percent have Delta," says Van Ranst. Several experts believe that the new Omicron variant will completely displace Delta, but that is not yet the case in Belgium even though Omicron has been present there for some time.
