We must prevent local transmission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We must seek to bring the situation in our country under control. We must continue to keep the number of active cases low and we must monitor the transmission rate to stay below one. We must not let it spike again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vigilance is important, but these developments must not let us panic. Thus far, the Omicron variant has not shown any characteristic that endanger the lives of patients, especially those who are already vaccinated. Therefore, I appeal to everyone who are not yet fully vaccinated, especially those who have not been vaccinated at all, to immediately go to health facilities to receive the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the situation in our country is gradually returning to normal, I appeal to you to remain disciplined in implementing health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, washing hands.
