The discovery of a new, more contagious strain of coronavirus is unlikely, according to Bill Gates.

Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates has expressed the opinion that the emergence of a new, more contagious strain of the Corona virus this year is unlikely.

At the same time, Gates warned that during the COVID-19 pandemic, “people have faced many surprises.”

He also noted that due to the Omicron coronavirus strain, many citizens will have immunity “at least for the next year”.

“For some time we will have to vaccinate against the Corona virus every year,” Gates said.
