Dr. Magda Campins, chair of Covid Scientific Advisory Committee: office Christmas parties 'are risky'

Catalonia, like other parts of Europe, has seen <a href="../../../../../covid-19/item/coronavirus-in-catalonia-daily-figures-explained-in-graphs">a dramatic surge in Covid-19 cases</a> over the past few weeks. PCR and antigen test positives have averaged at just below 1,900 per day between November 18 and December 2 – almost 1,000 more daily cases than the two weeks earlier. It is against this backdrop, and days before the long weekend where people are expected to travel and socialize more than usual, that Catalan News spoke with Dr. Magda Campins, the chair of Catalonia’s Covid-19 Scientific Advisory Committee that provides recommendations directly to the government and head of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology at Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona. Here is what she had to say about the newly discovered Omicron variant, the upcoming Christmas holiday season, and more.  / ACN
