The Danish Serum Institute (SSI) has detected the new omicron variant in wastewater samples from a treatment plant on the Island Funen. A further 14 samples from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across the country are currently being tested for the omicron variant. According to the Director General of the Danish Health Authority Soren Brostrom it is no longer proportional to use extra resources to eliminate the omicron variant of the virus.

The Danish Serum Institute (SSI) confirms that the omicron variant has so far been found in a sample from the Søndersø sewage treatment plant on Funen. A further 14 samples are currently being tested at SSI after initially testing positive for one of the mutations typical of the omicron variant.
