COVID-19 cases are on the rise again around the world due to Omicron variant mutations.
The Omicron variant dominates the recent increase in COVID-19 infections globally.

The next few months will see an increase in global tourism, as millions of people go on vacation.
And that is likely to increase the spread of COVID-19.

But that could change.
The head of the World Health Organization says the coronavirus pandemic is not over yet.
What should we expect?
