The Ministry of Health denied recording any infection with Omicron mutant.
The ministry's spokesman, Saif Al-Badr, said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that he "categorically denies what was raised in the media about registration of confirmed infections with the Omicron mutant in Iraq."
